Answer 1

The measure of central tendency always coinciding with the hump of any distribution is mode.

Explanation:

The “hump” or peak of a distribution is the value (or values) with the highest frequency; the mode is defined as the value that occurs most frequently, so it coincides with the hump. In multimodal distributions, there can be more than one hump (and thus more than one mode).
