In this scenario, the mean as a measure of central tendency will be least effective as an accurate representation of financial performance.
The mean is a measure of central tendency that is the average for a sample.
In this specific case the mean is not effective measure because there is a huge difference in the financial performance in the last month compared to the previous months.So the mean would not give the real picture.
