Hi. I have a math question that asks “best measure of central tendency?” Can you explain what it’s asking. I do and don’t know. I know it’s related to the mean, median, and mode, but I needed someone to explain it to me in words. Thank you so much :-)

Answer 1

For a normal distribution, any of the three are good. For a skewed distribution, the median would be best. So what does that tell you?

Answer 2

Sorry I just came back to this! I do understand now. Thanks PsyDAG. :-)
