Describe one personal score for each type of measurement scale (ratio, interval , ratio, ordinal) how the score relates/related to the appropriate measure of central tendency (mean, mode, median ).

Miles per month that you spend commuting
GPA of several terms/year
Average amount per month that spent on groceries

For each type of measurement scale, here is an example of a personal score and how it relates to the appropriate measure of central tendency:

1. Ratio Scale:
Example: Miles per month that you spend commuting.
With a ratio scale, you have a true zero point. In this case, the zero would represent no commuting. The score could be the total number of miles you commute in a month.

- Measure of Central Tendency: The appropriate measure of central tendency for this type of data would be the mean. You can calculate the mean by summing up all the commuting distances and dividing it by the number of months.

2. Interval Scale:
Example: GPA of several terms/year.
Interval scales have equal intervals between the numbers, but they don't have a true zero point. In this case, your GPA can range from 0 to 4, with no true zero.

- Measure of Central Tendency: The appropriate measure of central tendency for this type of data would be the mean as it gives the average performance. You can calculate the mean by summing up all the GPAs and dividing it by the number of terms.

3. Ordinal Scale:
Example: Average amount per month spent on groceries.
Ordinal scales represent rankings or order of items, but the actual differences between the values may not be uniform. For example, you can rank your spending on groceries from low to high.

- Measure of Central Tendency: The appropriate measure of central tendency for this type of data would be the median. The median represents the middle value in a ranked dataset. Arrange your monthly grocery spending in ascending order, and the middle value would be the median.

In summary, the type of measurement scale and the appropriate measure of central tendency depend on the nature of the data. Ratio scales use means, interval scales use means, and ordinal scales use medians.
