Answer:

A)

Explanation:

Both mean and median are used for measuring a typical value.

They are also considered as measures of central tendency and the median is considered as a more appropriate indicator of typical value if we are talking about extreme value or outlier and when it doesn't include outlier, the mean one is a better option.

Mean is affected by skewness and that's why the median is more appropriate.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

It depends greatly on what you're farming

Explanation:

I'd say for beef livestock the warmer more flat lands are the most common spot. For Dairy livestock and small livestock it's more common for them to be in cooler more mountain filled areas. As for farming with plants I'm not as familiar with that.
