Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

The median, because the data distribution is skewed to the left

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is used to describe a set of data.

Answer 2

Answer:

The mean, because the data distribution is symmetrical.

Step-by-step explanation:

Without even knowing the mean or median this can be solved. The data isn't skewed to the left nor right, so it is symmetrical. The mean is the central value of numbers so it should represent the center well.
