Question
2 for which distribution shape is it usually appropriate to use the median when summarizing the data? a bell - shaped c symmetric b skewed d uniform
The median is less affected by extreme values. In skewed distributions, there are outliers or extreme values on one - tail. The mean can be pulled in the direction of the skew by these extreme values, while the median remains a better measure of the central tendency. In symmetric, bell - shaped, and uniform distributions, the mean is often a good measure of central tendency along with the median. But for skewed distributions, the median is usually more appropriate.
