In a right-skewed distribution, the most appropriate measure of center is the **median**. This is because the median is less affected by extreme values (outliers) on the right side of the distribution.
The more appropriate measure of spread in a right-skewed distribution would be the **interquartile range (IQR)**. The IQR is also less affected by extreme values than the range or standard deviation.
So, your completed statement would be:
"The above distribution is skewed right. Therefore, the most appropriate measure of center would be the **median** and the more appropriate measure of spread would be the **interquartile range (IQR)**."
The more appropriate measure of spread in a right-skewed distribution would be the **interquartile range (IQR)**. The IQR is also less affected by extreme values than the range or standard deviation.
So, your completed statement would be:
"The above distribution is skewed right. Therefore, the most appropriate measure of center would be the **median** and the more appropriate measure of spread would be the **interquartile range (IQR)**."
