When dealing with a scale of measurement that is ordinal, the preferred measure of central tendency is the _____ (mean, median, or mode). When dealing with a scale of measurement that is either interval or ratio, and the distribution of scores is symmetrical, the preferred measure of central tendency is the _____ (mean, median, or mode). When dealing with a scale of measurement that is nominal, the preferred measure of central tendency is the _____ (mean, median, or mode). When...
