Question

Which of the following is a measure of central tendency?

• A. Frequency
• B. Class interval
• C. Mean
• D. Class

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Mean

Mean, median and mode are the measures of central tendency.

A class is a basis for grouping data. For instance, 0 - 10 is a class, and it takes into account all the observations that lie between 0 and 10.

A class interval is the size of the class, and not a measure of central tendency.

Frequency is the number of observations that have the value specified, either by individual observations or by a class.

Hence, among the given options, only mean is a measure of central tendency.
