True or False 1 The mean can be used only for data measured
True or False ????
1-- The mean can be used only for data measured on an interval or ratio scale
2-- The median can be interpreted as the balance point in the data set
3-- The median is the best measure when the distribution is skewed
4-- The mean is most strongly affected by outliers
5-- The mode can be used for data measured on a nominal scale
6-- The mean is the value that splits the distribution in half
Solution
1. True. Mean on ordinal or nominal data is not interpretable.
2. False. The mean can be interpreted as the balance point.
3. True. Median is less affected by large outliers.
4. True. Mean is largely affected by large outliers.
5. True. Nominal scale is for count or frequency data.
6. False. The median splits the distribution in half.
Hope this helps! :) Let me know if you have any other questions.
