Chapter 5 – 18 Ordinal Measurement: What is Average or Typical of a Distribution? Since the modes for education level differ in this instance, we want to report that information: “graduate school” for men, and “college” for women. Optionally, we may include the median, which is “college” for both men and women.
Chapter 5 – 19 Ordinal Measurement: Describe the Variability Within a Distribution For most variables in this studies, the ranges are the same; those similarities may be reported. What should be noted is that the range in level of education differs. The range is larger for men: from “less than high school” through “graduate school.” For women, it is “high school” through graduate school.”
