Answer to Problem 10PPS

A measure of central tendency cannot be calculated for the given set of data.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The numbers favourite movie types are comedy, 21%; drama, 19%; horror, 12%; science fiction, 17%; action and adventure, 18%; mystery and suspense, 13%.

Calculation:

Since, in the given set of data each percentage represents something different. Therefore, a measure of central tendency cannot be calculated for the given set of data.
