FAQs on MCQ - Measure of Central Tendency - Quantitative Aptitude for CA Foundation

1. What is a measure of central tendency?
Ans. A measure of central tendency is a statistical value that represents the central or typical value of a dataset. It provides information about the average or middle value of a set of numbers.
2. What are the different types of measures of central tendency?
Ans. The commonly used measures of central tendency are mean, median, and mode. The mean is the average of all the values, the median is the middle value when the data is arranged in ascending or descending order, and the mode is the value that appears most frequently in the dataset.
3. How is the mean calculated as a measure of central tendency?
Ans. The mean is calculated by adding up all the values in a dataset and then dividing the sum by the total number of values. It gives us an idea of the average value of the dataset.
4. When is the median a more appropriate measure of central tendency than the mean?
Ans. The median is a more appropriate measure of central tendency than the mean when the dataset contains extreme values or outliers that can significantly affect the mean. The median is not affected by extreme values, making it a better representation of the typical value in such cases.
5. How is the mode useful as a measure of central tendency?
Ans. The mode is useful as a measure of central tendency when we want to identify the most frequently occurring value in a dataset. It is particularly helpful in categorical or nominal data where distinct categories or values are present.
