Post a 350- to 500-word analysis of the relationship between the various measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and scales of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio) discussed in Week 1. What is the most appropriate measure of central tendency for each scale of measurement, and why? Also, analyze the relationship between the various measures of variability (range, standard deviation) and scales of measurement discussed in Week 1. What is the most appropriate measure of variability for each scale of measurement, and why?
