GSS 2014 respondents were asked, “Some people say the following things are important for being truly American. Others say they are not important. How important do you think each of the following is—to be a Christian?” Responses were measured on a 4-point scale: very important, fairly important, not very important, and not important at all.

1. What is the modal category?
2. Calculate the median category for this variable.
3. Identify which categories contain the 20th and 80th percentiles.
