What measure of center best represents data?
The answer depends on the type of data. The mean or median are useless if the data are qualitative (categoric): only the mode is any use. The median is better than the mean is the data are very skewed.
What is the best way to organize data?
Mathematical data can be best organized in numerical order. By doing this, statistics are more easily found, such as mean, median, and mode.
What are the best statistics to use for data that is normally distributed?
The mean and standard deviation. If the data really are normally distributed, all other statistics are redundant.
