or variability of the data about the measurements of central tendency. MEASUREMENTS OF CENTRAL TENDENCY The appropriateness of using the mean‚ median‚ or mode in data analysis is dependent upon the nature of the data set and its distribution (normal vs non-normal). The mean (denoted by x) is calculated by dividing the sum of the individual data points (where Σ equals “sum of”) by the number of observations (denoted by n).
