Expert Solution
Step 1


In statistics, three measures of central tendency are widely used. These three measures are also called the measures of location. These are the following:

Median
Mode
Mean

These could be defined as follows:

Mean is generally represented as the total sum of all observations divided by the number of observations.  It gives an average value for the whole data set. It is the most commonly used measure of central tendency. It includes each and every observation. This makes the mean value sensitive to outliers as it is affected by them.
