How can a lack of understanding of the measures of central tendency and variability affect business decisions

The measure of central tendency give you a picture of what to expect in a situation. For example, a basketball players average is the amount of points that they typical score.

In a business, you make decisions on what you expect to happen. Knowing the measure of center can help you make better decisions.
