Which of the following statements is incorrect? The median is the most appropriate measure of central tendency for highly-skewed data distributions. The variance is always greater than the standard deviation. A 10% trimmed mean of a given data is solved by removing the largest 10% and smallest 10% of the data, then computing for the mean. The coefficient of variation is the ratio between the mean and the standard deviation.
