When analyzing nominal data which measure of central tendency is appropriate?

The mode is the least used of the measures of central tendency and can only be used when dealing with nominal data. For this reason, the mode will be the best measure of central tendency (as it is the only one appropriate to use) when dealing with nominal data.

Which measure of central tendency is most appropriate?

Mean is generally considered the best measure of central tendency and the most frequently used one. However, there are some situations where the other measures of central tendency are preferred.

Which measure of central tendency is best for categorical nominal or ordinal data?

Mean is preferred when using ratio level data unless distribution includes outliers. Median is the preferred when using ordinal data. Median is preferred when data include outliers. Mode is preferred when using nominal data.

Which of the following is an appropriate measure of central tendency for ordinal data?

However, if you have a skewed distribution, the median is often the best measure of central tendency. When you have ordinal data, the median or mode is usually the best choice.
