  1. Central Tendency • Central Tendency – measures of location for a distribution • Mode – the commonly occurring number in a data set • Median – the middle score in a distribution • Mean – the average score

  2. Visual Representation of the Mean • The numerical distance of scores below the mean is always equal to the numerical distance of scores above the mean

  3. Skew and Central Tendency • For a normal distribution, all measures of central tendency are equal • For a skewed distribution, the measures of central tendency are different
