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

box plot with min at 6, Q1 at 7.5, median at 8, Q3 at 23, max at 32.5

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

6 7.5 8 23 32.5

The median because the data is skewed.

Look at the difference between

7.5 and 8 is only .5

Difference between 8 and 23 is 15

To use the mean, you want the difference between the median and Q1 and Q3 to be about the same. Otherwise use the median.

well if you look at the problem it starts at around 5.5 causing a little space to be provided in between and then it ends at 25 causing the skewed point to be at the median because the distribution is symmetrical.
