1) The mean and the median are two types of measures of center. For some variables, the median might
be a better measure of central tendency than the mean because the mean might misrepresent the
variable.
Give a real-world example of when the median is preferred over the mean. In your example,
Specify what the variable is, and
Explain the advantage of using the median and the disadvantage of using the mean. (How might the mean
misrepresent the variable? What might be real-world consequences of this misrepresentation?)
