This document provides an overview of central tendency techniques in statistics. It defines central tendency as a statistical measure to find the most typical or representative score of a distribution. The document discusses the three main measures of central tendency: the mean, median, and mode. It explains how to calculate and interpret each measure and when each is the most appropriate technique to use depending on the type of data and goals of analysis. The document also discusses how the shape of a distribution, whether symmetrical or skewed, impacts which central tendency measure best describes the center of the data.
