Which option represents measures of central tendency?

• A. Mean
• B. Median
• C. Mode
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Measuring central tendency is about describing a typical value around which data cluster. The three common measures are the mean, the median, and the mode. The mean computes the arithmetic average by summing all values and dividing by the count; it reflects the overall level of the data but can be pulled toward extreme values. The median is the middle value when the data are ordered, so it represents a central point that isn’t swayed by outliers. The mode is the value that occurs most often, capturing the most common observation and can apply to categorical data as well. Since each of these is a way to express the center of a data set, the option that includes all of them is the correct choice.
