Let's analyze the given statement and determine its correctness.
The measures of central tendency in statistics are values that describe the center or typical value of a dataset. The three primary measures of central tendency are:
1. Mean: The average of all the numbers in the dataset.
2. Median: The middle value when the numbers in the dataset are arranged in ascending or descending order.
3. Mode: The number that appears most frequently in the dataset.
Let's look at the statement given:
"The measures of central tendency are mean, average and median."
- Mean is indeed a measure of central tendency.
- Average is just another term for mean.
- This results in effectively listing the same measure twice (mean/average) and the median.
However, for the measures of central tendency, mode should have been mentioned instead of repeating mean/average.
Given this understanding, the correct answer is:
B) False
