Question

If a data set has many outliers, which measure of central tendency would be the BEST to use?

A) mean
B) median
C) mode
D) range

Answer 1

median

Explanation:

Median is correct. One extreme outlier can "drag" the mean up or down, while it would have little or no effect on the median.

Answer 2

Mode could work but I believe the best answer would be median.
