For a variable that measures religious denomination (what religion are you?), which is an appropriate measure of central tendency?
 
Group of answer choices
 
mode
median
mean
any of them- mean, median, or mode would be fine
Expert Solution
Step 1

Religious denomination cannot be ordered in the sense of less or greater than.

So, mean and median will not make any sense to use on them. 

The variable under consideration has labels , so the variable will be a nominal variable, where frequency term can be observed from the data.
