Some measures of central tendency for n ...

Some measures of central tendency for n discrete observations are given below:
1. Arithmetic mean
2. Geometric mean
3. Harmonic mean
4. Median
A desirable property of a measure of central tendency is if every observation is multiplied by c, then the measure of central tendency is also multiplied by c, where `cgt0`. Which of the abvoe measures satisfy the property?

A

1, 2 and 3 only

B

1, 2 and 4 only

C

3 and 4 only

D

1, 2, 3 and 4

Text Solution
