Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Measures of central tendency (like the mean) provide information about the typical or average score in a distribution, while measures of dispersion (like the range) provide information about the variability or spread of scores in a distribution. These measures are complementary in that they work together to give a more complete picture of the distribution of scores. Therefore, D is the correct choice.
