Answer: Mean Central Tendency

Explanation:

Central tendency means the measures in which we use in finding  the average value of a statistical series of quantitative data.The mean gives the arithmetic average of a group of scores that is the scores from a data are totaled and divided by the number of scores. Mean as a measure for central tendency is   easy to understand, calculate and utilizes all scores of a distribution, However,  it tends to be affected by extreme scores giving absurd negative values for example, a couple of extremely low scores can skew the mean so that the average score appears much more lower than most of the scores actually are.

Here, Even though students work hard and do well for most of the grading period, sometimes students get overwhelmed and do poorly on one test, which affects their overall grades-->this is because mean central tendency can give negative absurd values for extreme scores ( in this case, low scores ) in its observation, affecting a student's overall grade.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

C. A high school math teacher who encouraged his own son to skip college and focus on learning a trade to "save all that wasted tuition money"

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The reason why answer choice "C. A high school math teacher who encouraged his own son to skip college and focus on learning a trade to 'save all that wasted tuition money'" would be the correct answer because the high school teacher would have a "cognitive dissonance" in his response.

Cognitive dissonance is is having 2 or multiple beliefs in a topic, in this case, the high school teacher would have 2 beliefs in the topic of higher education.

The high school teacher believes that higher education is very important and that people need to get a higher education, but he tells his own son that the tuition that is going into college is "wasted money." This shows that the high school teacher has cognitive dissonance because he has two different beliefs. He believes that higher education is very important, but doesn't want his own son to pursue it because of the tuition costs.
