Give an example of distribution of a quantitative
variable with context that should use the median rather
than the mean as its measure of center.
Explain why it is that the median is the best measure of center
for this distribution (what could cause the skewness or outliers
that you expect to see).
Describe if the mean will be greater than the median or that
the median will be greater than the mean. Explain why this is true
(discuss what a left or right skew, or extremely high or low
outliers will do to the mean versus the median).
