What if your math teacher allows you to choose the most favorable measure of central tendency of your test scores to determine your grade for the term. On six tests you earn scores of 89 81 85 82 89 a?

If I were allowed to choose the most favorable measure of central tendency for my test scores, I would select the median. Given the scores of 89, 81, 85, 82, and 89, the median is 85, which is higher than the mean of 84. Since the median is less affected by extreme values, it provides a better representation of my performance, especially with the presence of a lower score.
