Question 6.
Give one example of a situation in which
(i) the mean is an appropriate measure of central tendency.
Answer:
For the students studying in the same class, usually their level of knowledge and understanding would be more or less equal. There would be a few student having this level low and there would be a few students having this level high. Their level of knowledge and understanding would be reflected in the marks scored by them at an examination. Hence, the mean of marks scored by them at an examination is an appropriate measure of central tendency.
(ii) the mean is not an appropriate measure of central tendency but the median is an appropriate measure of central tendency.
Answer:
If we consider the monthly income of the people of certain region, the mean is not an appropriate measure of central tendency but the median is an appropriate measure of central tendency.
