This makes it easier to interpret and compare datasets.Outliers: Extreme values can significantly affect the mean but have less impact on the median and mode. Box plot is a way to find outliers.Skewness: The shape of the data distribution (symmetric or skewed) influences the choice of the appropriate measure of central tendency.Detecting Payment FraudNow, let's sprinkle some magic on payment fraud detection.
