Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The measure of central tendency (mean, median, mode) that is appropriate depends on the scale of measurement used to measure the variable being studied. If the variable is measured on an interval or ratio scale, the mean is the appropriate measure of central tendency. Therefore, the appropriate choice in this scenario is the dependent variable (D) since it is the variable being measured and may be measured on an interval or ratio scale.
