What to check before you trust the mean
- Skewness far from 0? The mean is being dragged toward the tail, so report the median too. (Describing Data)
- Outliers flagged? Don't delete them by reflex; find out what they are first. One typo can move a mean more than ten honest values. (Assumptions & When They Break)
- Small n? The 95% CI here uses the t-distribution, so it's honest about small samples. No formula fixes n = 5, though. (Confidence Intervals)
