Measures of Central Tendency in Data

The document provides instructions and data for students to calculate and compare measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) for ungrouped data from 3 sets: times taken to solve a logic question, dress sizes sold in a week, and factory employee weekly wages. Students are asked to find the mean, median, and mode for each data set and identify which measure is most representative or useful in each case.
