STATISTICS I (İSTATİSTİK) - (İNGİLİZCE) Dersi Central Tendency Measures soru detayı:
SORU:
Which one is the simplest but the weakest meausre of center: mode, median or mean? Why?
CEVAP:
The mode is the simplest but it is the weakest measure of center. If all values have the same frequency, there is no mode in the data or if two or more values occur with the same frequency, there is multiple modes. In these cases, the mode provides limited information about the center of data. The median is a more useful measure since it represents a more typical score and many people can easily understand it. The mean is a more valid measure of center because it takes into account all the values in a dataset. For this reason, the mean is the most powerful and preferred measure of central tendency in many disciplines.
