Question

The mean can be misleading if you don't know the spread of data items. True or false...

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

When data is skewed toward the high or low end, the mean can be a misleading measure of central tendency.  In such a case the central tendency for the data items shifts toward either the high or low end -- away from the mean.  The median then becomes the better measure.
