Question
which measure of center is the best measure of a typical value for the data set in the histogram above?
○ median
○ mean
○ both
To determine the best measure of center, we analyze the histogram. The data appears to be roughly symmetric (or at least not highly skewed with extreme outliers that would heavily impact the mean). In a symmetric distribution, both the mean and median are good measures of center as they are close in value. The histogram here doesn't show extreme skewness or outliers that would make one better than the other, so both mean and median can represent a typical value.
