What is the relationship between mean, median, and mode in a symmetric distribution?

In a symmetric distribution, the mean, median, and mode are all equal.

Can the mode be used with numerical and categorical data?

Yes, the mode can be applied to both numerical and categorical data to identify the most frequent value.

When is it more appropriate to use the median instead of the mean?

The median is preferred when the data set has outliers or is skewed, as it better represents the central tendency.
