False.
200
Would you use the mean or the median for this distribution?
Would you use the MAD or the IQR for measuring the variability?
Mean and MAD because it is symmetrical.

200
These dot plots have the same variability:
True
300
Which would be greater: the mean or the median?
The mean would be greater because it is being pulled up by the data values on the right.

300
The median would be less than the mean.
False.
