According to Babbie, which of the following are specific examples of mathmatical central tendency?
A. median, interval, and standard deviation
B. mean, median, mode, and standard deviation
C. mode, mean, and median
D. none of the above are correct
E. all of the above are correct
Answer: C. As we learned in chapter 5, Intervals are a level of measurment so that would imply that A and E are incorrect. Standard deviation is mentioned in chapter 5, but it is used to measure the dispersion. This would make B an incorrect answer. Starting on page 411 of chapter 14, Babbie describes that C would be the correct answer since it includes all 3 examples of averages.
