true or false 1 The best measure of central tendency for a v

true or false???

1-- The best measure of central tendency for a variable measured on an interval scale on which scores vary from 0-10 is the mean.
2-- The best measure of central tendency for Religion (e.g., Protestant, Catholic...) is the mode.
3-- If you only have a sample and you want to describe a population with a measure of central tendency, the best measure of central tendency is almost always the mode
4-- The best measure of central tendency for nominal data is the median
5-- The best measure of central tendency for a data set with outliers is the median.

Solution

1. True. Mean gives numerical information, and since the scores vary from 0-10 there will not be a large outlier.

2. True. You cannot calculate any numerical summary on categorical data.

3. False. Median because it is unaffected by outliers and gives numerical information.

4. False. Median of nominal data is not interpretable because the numbers are only labels.

5. True. Median is unaffected by large outliers.

Hope this helps! :) Let me know if you have any other questions.
