select the measures of central tendency or variability that require the most mathematical computation that is reasonable to report, given the scale of measurement. For example, if your data were interval or ratio, you can report a mode, a median, or a mean, but the mean would be the measure of central tendency that requires the most mathematical computation. Thus, we would want you to report "Mean" as the answer for a variable measured on such a scale.
