Do you guys like mean or median better? Think about whatever data set you like. Take for instance poops per sock. Which number would you rather have, mean or median, to get an idea about what the data is like?

The reason I ask is because I used to have a prof whom after every test would give the high, low, and the median score. And I was like, eff that give me the mean not the median.

I prefer the data set if I can get it. Failing that, Mean, Median, Min/Max, and Variance are the best.
