Question

which statistical measure is used to describe the most common response in a set of data? a. mean b. range c. mode d. median

• Range: It is the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a data - set. It measures the spread of data, not the most common value.
• Mode: By definition, the mode is the value that appears most frequently in a data set. So, it is the measure used to describe the most common response.
• Median: It is the middle value when the data is arranged in ascending or descending order. It represents the central tendency but not the most common value.
