Question For which distributions is the median the best measure of center?   Select each correct answer. Responses Image with alt text: A bar graph with values that gradually rise up above 20 y before dropping steeply to below 2 y. Image with alt text: A bar graph with a majority of the values measured at 35 y. Image with alt text: A bar graph with values gradually rising above 30 y then dropping down gradually to 5 y.

Answer 1

The median is the best measure of center for distributions that:

- have outliers or skewness (such as the first and third bar graphs described)

- have an odd number of data points

Therefore, the correct answer is:

- The bar graph with a majority of the values measured at 35 y.
