Question:

1. which of the 3 averages is the best descriptor of that set of data so if the mean and median are close to each other then the mean is fine if there not then we take the median because their outliers unless it's a bimodal group then the mode is the best measure?

2.Based on the range and standard deviation. is the data consistent? or is a variable?
