Understanding measures of central tendency (mean, median, and mode) is crucial in interpreting data effectively. These concepts help us make sense of data sets by identifying their central point, which is especially valuable in fields like business, healthcare, and social sciences. Think of how often you encounter averages or medians in everyday life, whether it’s the average score in a video game or the median household income in your town. These statistics provide a snapshot of what’s ‘typical’ or ‘expected,’ giving us a foundation for decision-making.

For this activity, you will create an infographic that succinctly explains measures of central tendency. Your infographic should be visually appealing and informative, aimed at someone who is new to the topic. Consider including elements that connect these concepts to real-world applications or scenarios relevant to your experiences.

Requirements for the Infographic:
Define each measure of central tendency: mean, median, and mode.
Illustrate how each measure is calculated using a simple data set.
Highlight real-world examples where each measure is applicable and valuable.
Design the infographic to be clear and visually engaging, using charts or icons to reinforce understanding.
Explain why understanding these measures is important in everyday decision-making IN THE SOCIAL WORK Field AND also everyday
