Given:

Four statements are given.

Required:

1)WHICH MEASURE OF CENTRAL TENDENCY IS USED THROUGHOUT WORKS WELL WITH MANY STATISTICAL METHODS?

2)WHICH MEASURE OF CENTRAL TENDENCY TAKES INTO ACCOUNT EVERY SCORE?

3) WHICH MEASURE OF CENTRAL TENDENCY IS APPROPRIATE FOR DATA AT THE NOMINAL LEVEL?

4) WHICH MEASURE OF CENTRAL TENDENCY IS RARELY USED AND IS VERY SENSITIVE TO EXTREME VALUES.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)The mostly used central tendency is the mean because it uses all values in the data set to give you an average.

(2) The mean is the most used to find the central tendency of the data because it balances the distribution both the large and the small values are equally represented by the mean and also takes into all individual values.

(3) The mode is the least used of the measures of central tendency and can only be used when dealing with nominal data so the mode is the best measure of central tendency in dealing with nominal data.

(4)The mean is sensitive to all scores in the data set because every number of the data set affects the mean which makes it more sensitive to the mean than the median and mode.

Final Answer:

(1) Mean

(2) Mean

(3) Mode

(4) Mean
