12. A. What measure of central tendency would be most appropriate to describe the center of the SAT Composite Data below? _____________________________ (fill in the blank) B. What would you expect the relationship between the mean and the median to be circle one(the same, mean larger; mean smaller?)

Solution

The histogram appears to be skewed toward right slightly. Hence, Median would be the better measure of central tendency.

Since, this histogram is right skewed, mean is larger than median.
