Introduction
The statistical approach known as a central tendency designates a specific number as being characteristic of a comprehensive distribution. It seeks to provide a comprehensive representation of all the information. This is the singular statistic that effectively characterizes or demonstrates the evidence received. In the given scenario, the descriptions of two distributions are given. We need to find out the appropriate central tendency method (mean, median, and mode) for these two scenarios.
