Which are the better statistics to use to compare the distributions?

Which are the better statistics to use to compare the distributions? Assume you know the mean, median, standard deviation, and IQR for each.
A. Median and standard deviation
B. Mean and standard deviation
C. Mean and IQR
D. Median and IQR

Answer

D. Median and IQR

When comparing distributions, especially if they are not symmetric or have outliers, the median and IQR are better statistics to use as they are less affected by skewness and outliers compared to the mean and standard deviation.
