Interactive Measures of Central Tendency Visualization

Welcome to the Measures of Central Tendency Explorer

This interactive visualization helps you understand the three main measures of central tendency: mean, median, and mode. Explore how these measures behave differently with symmetric, skewed, and bimodal distributions.

What you can explore:

  • Mean (x̄) - Average value, sensitive to outliers
  • Median - Middle value, robust to outliers
  • Mode - Most frequent value(s)
  • Distribution Shapes - How measures relate to distribution shape

How to Use This Visualization

Interactive Features:

  • Select Distribution - Choose from different distribution types
  • Enter Custom Data - Input your own data values
  • Toggle Measures - Show/hide mean, median, and mode
  • Compare Values - See how measures differ

What You'll See:

  • Histogram - Frequency distribution of data
  • Mean Line (blue, dashed) - Average value
  • Median Line (purple, dashed) - Middle value
  • Mode Markers (orange) - Most frequent values

Key Concepts

Mean: The arithmetic average. Sum all values and divide by count. Best for symmetric distributions without outliers.

Median: The middle value when data is sorted. For even n, average the two middle values. Best for skewed distributions or when outliers are present.

Mode: The most frequently occurring value(s). Can have multiple modes (bimodal, multimodal). Best for categorical or discrete data.

When to Use Each Measure

Use Mean: When data is symmetric, no outliers, and you need all values in calculation.

Use Median: When data is skewed, has outliers, or you need a robust measure.

Use Mode: For categorical data, finding most common category, or when you need the "typical" value.

Use All Three: Compare to understand distribution shape. Mean > Median indicates right skew, Mean < Median indicates left skew.
