ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Central tendency

Central tendency is how we measure the average of a group of numbers. It is kind of like a middle of a group of numbers. For example, if you have a group of 5 numbers - 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 - the central tendency (or the average) of that group would be 6. That is the middle number.
