explain when the median of a data set is a better measure of center than the mean.
revious activity

Explanation:

The median is resistant to extreme values (outliers) and skewed distributions, while the mean is pulled toward outliers. When data has outliers or is strongly skewed, the median better represents the typical central value because it is not affected by extreme scores.

Answer:

The median is a better measure of center than the mean when the data set contains extreme outliers or is strongly skewed (either left or right). This is because the median is not influenced by extreme values, so it more accurately reflects the "typical" value in the data, whereas the mean will be pulled toward the outliers or the skewed tail of the distribution.
