PROBLEM: Passage: Categorical variable -- As a result, the central tendency of a set of categorical variables is given by its mode; neither the mean nor the median can be defined. As an example, given a set of people, we can consider the set of categorical variables corresponding to their last names. We can consider operations such as equivalence (whether two people have the same last name), set membership (whether a person has a name in a given list), counting (how many people have a given last name), or finding the mode (which name occurs most often). However, we cannot meaningfully compute the ``sum'' of Smith + Johnson, or ask whether Smith is ``less than'' or ``greater than'' Johnson. As a result, we cannot meaningfully ask what the ``average name'' (the mean) or the ``middle-most name'' (the median) is in a set of names.
Question: can you define a median for an unordered categorical variable

PROBLEM: Passage: Haters Back Off -- Haters Back Off is a Netflix original television comedy series based on the YouTube character Miranda Sings created by Colleen Ballinger. Its two seasons were released in October 2016 and 2017, respectively. The ``surreal and absurd'' series centers around the family life of Miranda Sings, a sheltered, self-absorbed, overconfident and untalented young performer who seeks fame on YouTube. The half-hour episodes depicted Miranda's road to fame, and the price she pays for trampling on the feelings of others. The show stars Colleen Ballinger as Miranda, Angela Kinsey as her mother Bethany, Steve Little as her uncle Jim, Francesca Reale as her sister Emily, and Erik Stocklin as her best friend and love interest, Patrick. Season 2 added Matt Besser as Miranda's estranged father. Netflix described the show as ``a bizarre family comedy, and a commentary on society today and our fascination with fame.''
