Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is D, variables. DESCRIPTIVES is used to analyze numerical data and requires that the variables being analyzed are interval or ratio scaled. This is because DESCRIPTIVES computes measures such as mean, standard deviation, and range, which only make sense for interval or ratio scaled variables. The other options, mean, median, and mode, are measures of central tendency that can be used with any type of numerical data.
