If we plot the data on the graph, we can see that the data is skewed to the right (positive skew) and there is an outlier. In skewed data and presence of outlier, the median is most commonly used measure of central tendency. This is because a positive skew would result in a positive bias to the mean. Meaning that it would be a lot larger than the median and not really representing the actual central tendency. The median however is less affected by the skew and outliers.
