20. To find the average speed of a journey which is the appropriate measure of central tendency

Basic statistics deals with the measure of central tendencies (such as mean, median, mode, weighted mean, geometric mean, and Harmonic mean) and measure of dispersion (such as range, standard deviation, and variances). Basic statistical methods include planning and designing the study, collecting data, arranging, and numerical and graphically summarizing the collected data. Basic statistics also used to perform statistical analysis to draw meaningful inferences.
A basic visual inspection of data using some graphical and numerical statistics may give some useful hidden information already available in the data. The graphical representation includes a bar chart, pie chart, dot chart, box plot, etc. Companies related to finance, communication, manufacturing, charity organizations, government institutes, simple to large businesses, etc. are all examples that have a massive interest in collecting data and measuring different sorts of statistical findings. This helps them to learn from the past, noticing the trends, and planning for the future.

Which measurement does not divide a set of observation into equal parts

Standard deviation doesnt divide into any equal parts .
Quartiles divide into 4 equal parts
Percentiles divide into 100 equal parts
Quantiles into 5 equal parts
Deciles into 10 equal parts
Median into 2 equal parts
