The answer is False: The variance is a measure of central tendency.

Explanation:

  • Variance is a statistical measure that represents the dispersion or spread of a set of data points. It indicates how much the data points differ from the mean (average) of the data set.
  • Measures of central tendency, on the other hand, are statistical measures that describe the center or typical value of a data set. The most common measures of central tendency are the mean, median, and mode.
  • Since variance measures the spread of data rather than the central point, it is not considered a measure of central tendency.
