CEVAP:

• The mean is accepted as the representative measure of location for the entire data since it is based upon all values.
• It is easily understood and calculated.
• Several means can also be comparable when they are measured on the same scale.
• The mean cannot be measured for nominal or ordinal data. Although mean can be calculated for numerical ordinal data (e.g., survey on Likert type scales), many times it does not give a meaningful information about the data.
• The mean is a valid measure of central tendency when we have scale type data such as interval or ratio data and the distribution is normal.
• Unlike the mode and the median, the mean is capable of further algebraic operations due the type of data.
• The mean is very sensitive to extreme low and extreme high scores indicating skewed distributions.
