median and the mean
central tendency , middle number, is the median right
277 + 301 divided by 2
Central tendacy means middle number
so the median
(277+301)/2
since you have an even amount of numbers
So its a and b
I dont think the mode would count, that is the most common number right? not a measure of the central tendency
Mean, is the average of all the numbers, that could be considered central tendency, but if you have one number that is way far off from the others, it will throw off the central number by a bit, so not sure if that one you want to count
THe median is the central number in a list of increasing numbers
the range is not the central tendency
the deviation is how far off they are from the others, so that is not the central tendency
I would say Median for sure, Mean possibly
Ok thanks
