Answer 1

Answer:

The mean is 39

The median is 42

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the best measure of center for the above data because half of the values are less than the median and half of the values are more than the median. It's probably the best measure of center to use in a skewed distribution.

The measure of variability is the range because is the simplest measure of variability to calculate but can be misleading if the dataset contains extreme values.

The variability is 67.25
