The median, because the data distribution is skewed to the right.

Given that

The box plot with the following parameters:  

Minimum value at 11,

First Quartile, Q1 at 22.5,

Median at 34.5,

Third Quartile, Q3 at 36,

Maximum value at 37.5.

According to the question

When a distribution has a longer tail to one of its sides, then it is said to be skewed.

Since the tail is longer to the left, it is said to be left-skewed.

The data distribution is skewed to the left because the median (34.5) is closer to the third quartile (36) than to the first quartile  (22.5).

For skewed data, we always prefer the median because it is less affected by the outliers and if the mean is chosen, the value of the mean is biased towards the side that has larger values while the median does not get affected by it. So, we choose the median.

For skewed distributions, the median is the best measure of center.

Hence, the median, because the data distribution is skewed to the right.

Answer:

1. 7/41

2. 7/15

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Probability that it is a multiple of 6 given that it is a 2 digit number: There are 7 numbers that are a multiple of 6 and are 2 digits: 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, and 48. There are 41 numbers that are 2 digits. So, it is 7/41

2. Probability that it is at least 20 given that it is prime. Out of the prime numbers from 1-50, 7 of them are at least 20 and there are 15 primes in that range in total. So, it is 7/15
