Use JASP to compute the following measures of central tendency and variability and write those statistical results at the top of your assignment submission. Do not paste the JASP results table into your answer document.
Mean
Median
Mode
Range
Standard deviation
Explain which scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio) is used to measure the variable.
Use the relative positions of the mean, median, and mode to identify the shape of the distribution (positive skew, negative skew, or normal distribution). Explain what the shape of this distribution tells you about the characteristic or behavior of the sample.
Imagine you had one score that was an extremely high outlier. Explain how each measure (mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation) would increase, decrease, or stay the same.
