Why the Mean is Best

ADMS 2320: TERM TEST #1 PREP · Fall 2024 Chapter 4: Numerical Descriptive Techniques Why the Mean is Best

The Mean is the preferred measure of central tendency because it uses every single score in the distribution. However, it cannot be calculated for nominal and ordinal data, and may not be the best choice when dealing with extreme outliers, as these can skew the mean and make it less representative of the data set.
