In statistics, a central tendency (or, more commonly, a measure of central tendency) is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.It may also be called a center or location of the distribution.Colloquially, measures of central tendency are often called averages.hat is, given a measure of statistical dispersion, one asks for a measure of central tendency that minimizes variation: such that variation from the center is minimal among all choices of center. In a quip, dispersion precedes location.
Another commonly used measure of central tendency in specific cases is the mode. The mode is simply the most commonly occurring value. For example, in a class of 50 students graded on a scale of 1-5, the distribution may be as shown in the figure. The mode of this data is 4. Different types of data need different measures of central tendency to describe the distribution of data. For highly skewed data, none of these may be sufficient, and we may need to go for other specialized measures or simply report them all in a table. Learn More.
