Question

On a survey questionnaire, students were asked to indicate their class in college. If there were only four choices from which to choose, which measure(s) of central location would be appropriate to use for the data generated by that questionnaire item?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mode and median      

Explanation:

Mode- This is defined as the measure of the central tendency, which includes the most ordinary number in an arrangement. Mode is defined as the value which is most likely to be sampled.

Example- In the following set of numbers: 1, 4, 4, 4, 5, 9, 8; the mode would be 4 because it has occurred most frequently.

Median- It is a measure of central tendency, which is the midpoint in an arrangement of numbers. Median is a number that is halfway into the arrangement of the numbers.

Example- In the following set of numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, the median is 2.5
