Question: Describe which measure of central tendency - mean, median, or mode was probably used in each situation. Answer in order.
I. One half of the gross domestic product (GDP) of country A comes from more than 42.5% of its citizens.
II. Computation of per-capita income in several countries.
III. A person on an average eats sea food once a week.
IV. Average sales of a company for various years.


A ) mean, mode, mode, mode
B ) mode, mode, mean, median
C ) median, mean, mode, mean
D ) mean, mean, mean, median

Steps to derive

1 Statement I: One half of the gross domestic product (GDP) of country A comes from more than 42.5% of its citizens and one half comes from less than 42.5% of its citizens. So, median was used.
 [Since median is the half way point in a data set.]

2 Statement II: The mean for a data set is unique. So, mean was the correct measure of central tendency to compute the per-capita income in several countries.

3 Statement III: Mode can be used when the data are nominal such as preferences, gender etc. So, mode was probably used.

4 Statement IV: Mean was used to know the average sales of a company for various years.



Hence the right answer is Option C
