B

Really i was leaning towards D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In my notes it says this if it helps...... If data is symmetrical..... center will be the Mean If data is Asymmetrical.....center will be the Median

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mean is the average of something and median is the middle if it is looking for the center of the data it should be the median.
