To analyse data using mean, median and mode, we need to use the most appropriate measure of central

tendency. The mean is useful for predicting future results when there are no extreme values in the data set. The
median may be more useful than the mean when there are extreme values in the data set as it is not affected by

the extreme values. The median is most commonly quoted figure used to measure property prices as mean
property price is affected by a few expensive properties that are not representative of the general property

market. The mode is useful when the most common item or characteristic of a data set is required. The mode
has applications in printing. It is important to print more of the most popular books.

For the data shown, the value of appropriate measure of central tendency is
No.of staff 1 2 4 5 3 2

Salary
15000 10000 7000 12000 90000 95000
(In rupees)
