The answer is TRUE.

When you have a symmetrical distribution for continuous data,

the mean, median, and mode are equal. In this case, analysts tend to use the mean because it includes all of the data in the calculations.

However, if you have a skewed distribution, the median is often the best measure of central tendency.
