Answer: In data sets with outliers, either the mean or median can be used to make the data set appear more favorable to their agenda.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean and median would not affected by outlying data points within data sets. Thus, the median is often used when a data set has outlying data points that could influence the mean and thereby misrepresent the middle of the data set.

The correct reason people sometimes use mean or median to misrepresent the “average” of a set of data is " In data sets with outliers, either the mean or median can be used to make the data set appear more favorable to their agenda. '
