These three question types have to do with the way the data in a distribution is laid out.

First let’s review what a distribution is:
Central Tendency, Spread, or Distribution Shape?
![Page 8: Is this a central tendency - spread - symmetry question](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070514/5880ed881a28ab0d358b6ff7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
We will illustrate what a distribution is with a data set that describes the hours students’ study

Now that we have reviewed the idea of a distribution, let’s consider Central Tendency.

Central Tendency
Represents the point or area in the distribution where scores tend to predominate or cluster.

Distributions can also be flat where the scores are evenly spread out across a scale.
Or they can cluster around a particular point.

Example 2
Mr. Jones gives a history test where 25% of the students get Ds, 28% of the students get Cs, 28% Bs and 25% As. This evenly spread out distribution looks like this.
Central Tendency, Spread, or Distribution Shape?
25% 28% 28% 25%
Ds Cs Bs As

On one level we are dealing with how the
scores are spread out, but this also affects the shape
of the distribution.
