Provide an appropriate response.Explain why or when the median is a better average to use than the mean.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. The median is influenced very little by extreme values, while the mean is very sensitive to these values. For this reason, the median is preferable when the data contains many extreme values and gives truer representation of the center in such cases than does the mean.
