When there are no outliers present, the mean (average) is the most appropriate measure of central tendency. This is because the mean takes into account every value in the data set, providing a balanced representation of the overall value. The mode (most frequent value) and median (middle value) may be affected by outliers and may not provide a good representation of the overall data in such cases.
