In this lesson, you will learn how to determine whether to use the mean, median, or mode in order to best describe the center of a data set. The median is best used when we have outliers in the data because the median relies on the center most value of the data set - in this case any outliers will be discarded. The mean is best used when the data has no outliers and the mathematical average is then used. The mode is most commonly used when the data is non-numerical in nature.
