Answer to Question 1

No single method for measuring central tendency will produce a good, representative value in every situation. Although the mean works well in most situations, there are circumstances in which the mean is not representative or cannot be calculated.

Answer to Question 2

The purpose of a measure of central tendency is to identify the center of the distribution and find the single score that best represents the entire distribution.
