The median would be the most appropriate statistic to measure central tendency because the resulting statistics is skewed. The foundation also wanted to know the graduation rates of the individuals. The median and mode displayed the same results while the mean was slightly more. The standard deviation is small, meaning the mean is close to the median and mode. If the standard deviation was larger, it would make the median and mode inaccurate. Considering the accuracy of the findings, the future funding is promising since the number of individuals graduating is so high (ABS, 2013)
