having trouble finding a source but how does this data look and everything?

Respond to one of the following options in your initial post, citing at least one specific credible source in support. Question on credible sources? See the Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources(Links to an external site.).

Decide whether you should use the median or mean to best describe the data set.

We know that normal distribution is a symmetrical distribution, and we also know that the mean, median, and mode are equal for a symmetrical distribution. However, for normal distribution, the mean is widely preferred to describe the data set because the mean is calculated using all of the values of the data set, and any changes in the data set will affect the value of the mean

Determine whether the standard deviation or the interquartile range are relevant factors.

We know that normal distribution is symmetrical, so that all measures can be used for normal distributions. However, for normal distribution, the SD is preferred because SD is calculated using all of the values of the data set

Briefly discuss in the context of a specific example.

Suppose we take the height of 20 students and consider that the parent distribution of height is a normal distribution.
