"An average is a single value within the range of data that is used to represent all values in the series. Since an average is somewhere within the range of the data, it is also called a measure of Central Value". This definition is given by _________________.

• A. Croxton and Cowden
• B. Simpson and Kafka
• C. Clark and Sekkade
• D. Murry R. Spiegal

Answer 1

The correct option is A Croxton and Cowden

Croxton and Cowden proposed a very universally accepted definition of measure of central tendency where they defined average as a single value which is within the range of the series that represents the whole series of observation and since the value is within the range of the series, it is usually called the measure of central tendency owing to its central value.
