The mean or median can be used with a normal distribution.
However, since the mean acts as a fulcrum (balance point) and is most influenced by deviant scores, the median is best to use with a skewed distribution (pulled out with extreme scores to one side).
Please help!!! im not sure what it is asking or how to answer it!
In what situations would you use the mean to summarize a set of data? The median?
