Newborn babies have lengths that are all very similar to one another. Which of the following would be the best measure of the center of the set of data consisting of the lengths of a group of newborn babies?

In these situations, the median is generally considered to be the best representative of the central location of the data. The more skewed the distribution, the greater the difference between the median and mean, and the greater emphasis should be placed on using the median as opposed to the mean.
