Answer to Question 1

The mode. Since the data are not numerical, it is not possible to find the median or mean. The mode is the only
measure of center that can be used with data at the nominal level of measurement.

Answer to Question 2

Mathematicians prefer probabilities since many calculations are easier with probabilities. However, odds make
calculations easier in gambling transactions.
