Answer:

In this case the Central Tendency measure that would be appropriate to report is Mode.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Tendency measures are listed as follows:

i.) Mean

ii) Median

iii) Mode.

In the case that the data collected of a population is qualitative and not quantitative then the best Central Tendency measure to qualify the data is Mode of the data.

In the given example the data collected is of the students' racial classification which is not quantitative and purely qualitative. Therefore in case it is proper to take the Central Tendency measure to be reported as the Mode.
