THE SUMMATION
NOTATION
To shorten the notation, we use the
symbol Σ (sigma) for the summation.
In general, the symbol following the
summation sign Σ represents the variable
(or function of the variable) that is to be
summed.

NUMERICAL MEASURES OF
CENTRAL TENDENCY
Measure of Central Tendency is the
single figure that is representative of
the general level of magnitude or values
of the items in the data set.
It is called measure of central tendency
because when the observations are
arranged according to magnitude, it
tends to lie centrally within the set.
