The median is the value that divides the distribution into two equal halves, with half the scores falling above it and half below it. This makes it a better measure of the central tendency for a positively skewed distribution compared to the mean and mode, which are both influenced by extreme values in the tail of the distribution. The range is a measure of variability and not a measure of central tendency.
