3.1.8

State which type of measurement scale each represents, and then which center measures can be use for the variable?

You collect data on the height of plants using a new fertilizer.
You collect data on the cars that people drive in Campbelltown, Australia.
You collect data on the temperature at different locations in Antarctica.
You collect data on the first, second, and third winner in a beer competition.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the value that occurs most frequently in a data set. A data set may have more than one mode if multiple categories repeat an equal number of times. For example, in a data set with five item—3, 5, 5, 29, 473—the mode is 5 because it occurs twice and no other value occurs more than once. On a histogram or bar chart, the element with the highest bar represents the mode. Therefore, the mode is sometimes considered the most popular option. The mode is useful for nominal or categorical data (e.g., the most common color car that users purchase), but it is problematic for continuous data because it is more likely not to have any value that is more frequent than the other.
