Question
Name the good measure of the center if the data is not numeric or doesn't fall in intervals?
- Average
- Mean
- Median
- Mode
Hint:
Note that, here the dataset is not numeric. So, we cannot perform any mathematical computations, say addition, multiplication, or division. Hence, we need to use a number of occurrences of items in the dataset.
The correct answer is: Mode
Step 1 of 1:
Since the data is not numeric or doesn't fall in intervals, then we need to count the frequencies or the number of occurrences of each data point in the dataset.
The highest number of occurrences would be the mode of the dataset.
So, it would a good measure for such a dataset.
Final Answer:
The right choice is-- a. Mode
