° The descriptive statistic was chosen based on the scale type of the variable in question. Continuous data, such as GPA or weight, is best described by its mean. Ordinal data, such as great, good, or bad, is best described by its median. Categorical data, such as gender or race, is best described by the mode[19]. | ||
