Detailed Solution

 (i) the mean is an appropriate measure of central tendency:

If we are calculating the height of the students in a particular class then we should use the mean. Because in this case mean is appropriate measure than the median.

(ii) the mean is not an appropriate measure of central tendency but the median is an appropriate measure of central tendency.:
