In data handling, a common misconception that students have about 'mean' as a measure of central tendency is:
- 1The order of data is irrelevant to the calculation of mean.
- 2Mean is affected by extremely large and extremely small values in the data.
- 3Mean is used everywhere as a representative measure of central tendency regardless of the context or distribution of the data.✓
- 4Mean is computed by adding all the numbers in the set and dividing the sum thus obtained by the number of items.
Correct answer
Mean is used everywhere as a representative measure of central tendency regardless of the context or distribution of the data.
