You have collected data on the hair color of 1,000 people. What is the best way to describe this data?

Solution

Color is categorical variable which can have more than 2 levels.

A nominal variable has only two levels. So, nominal data can not be used here.

Mean of a data is used to give a point estimate of the continuous data. As the color is categorical, so we can\'t use Mean here.

Skewness is used to describe the type of distribution. So, this can\'t be used to describe the data.

So Frequency would be best as the color may have more than 2 classes.
