Question

Measure of Central Tendency useful in markedly skewed distribution is:

• A. Mean
• B. Median
• C. Geometric mean
• D. Mode

Hint:

When data is skewed, the median is often the best measure of central tendency as it provides a better central value representation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Recognize the effect of data skewness.
With skewed data, outliers significantly influence the mean. The median provides a more robust central tendency measure as it remains unaffected by extreme values.
