Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mean is the most appropriate measure of central tendency when trying to represent an entire group of scores, as it takes into account every score in the calculation. The mode only represents the most frequently occurring score, and the median only represents the middle score in the distribution. N is simply the number of scores in the group, and not a measure of central tendency.
