The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying which of the given options is a measure of central tendency, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Measures of Central Tendency**: - Measures of central tendency are statistical measures that describe the center or typical value of a dataset. The most common measures are mean, median, and mode. 2. **Identify the Given Options**: - The options provided are: - Mode - Mean Deviation - Standard Deviation - Coefficient of Correlation 3. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **Mode**: This is the value that appears most frequently in a dataset. It is a measure of central tendency. - **Mean Deviation**: This measures the average of the absolute deviations from the mean. It is not a measure of central tendency but rather a measure of dispersion. - **Standard Deviation**: This quantifies the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of values. It is also not a measure of central tendency. - **Coefficient of Correlation**: This measures the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. It is not a measure of central tendency. 4. **Conclusion**: - Among the given options, only **Mode** is a measure of central tendency. ### Final Answer: The one which is the measure of central tendency is **Mode**. ---
