Question

Given the box plot, will the mean or the median provide a better description of the center?


The mean, because the data distribution is symmetrical

The mean, because the data distribution is skewed to the left

The median, because the data distribution is skewed to the left

The median, because the data distribution is skewed to the right

i know that the center in midpoint, so you need to use the median to get that

Answer 33

Mean is an accurate estimate of the center. I would recommend, the distribution being symmetrical.

Answer 34

Answer 35

and it wouldnt be mean because most of the data is towards the right
