Question

Measurements from a nominal scale can be used to determine whether two individuals are the same or different, but cannot determine the directions or the size of the difference. In a frequency distribution table, the aX may be obtained by simply adding the values in the column labeled X. Bar graphs are used for data that are measured on a nominal or an ordinal scale. The mean is often displaced toward the tail of a skewed distribution so that it is not a good, representative measure of central tendency. For a symmetrical distribution, the mean is equal to the median. Short Answer Please type answers in the space below each question. Calculate each value requested for the following set of scores: a. aX b. aY c. aXaY d. aXY
