Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The median is the best measure of central tendency when there are extreme values as it is less affected by outliers than the mean. The mean is influenced by extreme values and therefore may not be a good representation of the central tendency in such cases. The mode is not affected by extreme values but it may not accurately represent the true central tendency of the distribution. Variance is a measure of spread and not central tendency.
