Explanation:

A measure of central tendency (also referred to as measures of centre or central location) is a summary measure that attempts to describe a whole set of data with a single value that represents the middle or centre of its distribution.

There are three main measures of central tendency: the mode, the median and the mean. Each of these measures describes a different indication of the typical or central value in the distribution.

What is the mode?

The mode is the most commonly occurring value in a distribution.

The most commonly occurring value is 54, therefore the mode of this distribution is 54 years.
