Question

Which measure of central tendency is more representative of the typical observation if the graph of the data is skewed to the right?

Answer 1

Answer:

Median

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of central tendency is used to represent an entire group of data with a common single  number. There are three types of measure of central tendency, the mean , the median and the mode. Our focus here is on the median because in any skewed dataset, The median is the best form for a skewed type of distribution. The median is the middle number in an ordered set of data.

In a skewed type of distribution, the mode is the highest  point of the distribution. In the measure of central tendency, the mean is mostly influenced by the outliers and it is pulled towards  to the tail region of the distribution.
