Which among the following are the measures of Central Tendency or Measures of Location?

A. Mean

B. Range

C. Mode

D. Median

E. Variance

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is A, C and D only.

 Key Points

The measures of central tendency or measures of location are:

A. Mean
C. Mode
D. Median

Let's review each option:

A. Mean: The mean is a measure of central tendency that represents the average value of a set of data. It is calculated by summing all the values in the dataset and dividing by the number of observations.

C. Mode: The mode is a measure of central tendency that represents the most frequently occurring value in a dataset. It is the value that appears with the highest frequency.

D. Median: The median is a measure of central tendency that represents the middle value in a dataset when it is arranged in ascending or descending order. It divides the dataset into two equal halves.

B. Range: The range is not a measure of central tendency. It is a measure of dispersion that represents the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a dataset. It provides information about the spread of the data but does not give insight into the central tendency.

E. Variance: The variance is not a measure of central tendency. It is a measure of dispersion that quantifies the spread of data points around the mean. It provides information about the variability of the dataset but does not directly represent the central tendency.

Therefore, the measures of central tendency or measures of location are A. Mean, C. Mode, and D. Median.
