Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The median is not appropriate for nominal data because it only considers the order of the data, but not the actual values. Nominal data represents categories or labels, and the median cannot be calculated for such data. For nominal data, mode is a better measure of central tendency. For ratio, interval, and ordinal data, the median can be an appropriate measure of central tendency.
