Which of the following are positional averages?

(A) Arithmetic Mean

(B) Median

(C) Mode

(D) Geometric Mean

(E) Harmonic Mean

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Correct option is A

Positional averages are statistical measures that depend on the position of data points rather than their numerical values. The two primary positional averages are:
1. Median (B): The median is the middle value of an ordered data set. It divides the data into two equal halves and remains unaffected by extreme values.
2. Mode (C): The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a dataset. It represents the most common occurrence in the data.
On the other hand, the Arithmetic Mean (A), Geometric Mean (D), and Harmonic Mean (E) are based on actual numerical values rather than their positional arrangement, so they are not considered positional averages.
