Question

An arbitrary data set of infants' heights participating in a study of child health research is reported.

Height (in cm)

Using these data, discuss the difference between the tools to measure central tendency and variability. Also, answer the following:

Compute the appropriate measure(s) of central tendency and discuss their worthiness.
Calculate the measure(s) of dispersion and discuss which measure (s) is (are) appropriate and why?

Discuss the possible graphical method(s) that could be used to depict the above data.

Definition Definition Characteristic of data to concentrate at certain values, usually in the center of the distirbution. The central tendency of the data is measured by descriptive statistics like mean, median, and mode, which are known as measures of central tendency. Depending upon the type of data under study, some measures of central tendency become more appropriate to use than others.
