What are
measures of The word "measures of central
tendency" means the central location
central tendency? or point of convergence of a set of
values. Test scores have a tendency to
converge at a central value. This value
is the average of the set of scores.
Three commonly used measures of
central tendency or measures of
central location are the mean, the
median, and the mode.
This is the most preferred measure of
Mean. central tendency for use with test
scores, also referred to as the
arithmetic mean.
Example:
When a student has added up the

computed the arithmetic mean.

in Table 8.1. Move your cursor to Statistics and the Frequency Statistics box will pop out. Click
Median.
