Central Tendency Quiz
Central Tendency Quiz explores how people began summarizing messy data long before calculators existed. In the early days of astronomy, scholars tracked planetary movements using handwritten tables filled with numbers. To make sense of these observations, they relied on simple averages to represent typical motion, even when individual readings varied widely. This habit of reducing complexity into a single representative value slowly shaped what we now call measures of central tendency. The idea was not about perfection but practicality, because handling every number individually was exhausting. Over time, different summaries emerged to handle different situations, from fair distributions to lopsided ones. This quiz builds around that everyday logic of simplification, showing how numbers quietly influence decisions, records, and comparisons without drawing attention to themselves.
