2. Data Processing

Measures of central tendency provide a way to find a single representative value that summarizes a set of observations. The three primary measures investigated are mean, median, and mode, each serving different types of data while compensating for variations and relationships within the data. Comprehension of how to calculate and when to use each measure is essential for effective statistical analysis.
