Median
Median is the mean of 18 and 32 because they are in the middle, so it's 25. Median is the best representation because most numbers are around 20-30. 115 makes the mean go super high, which is not good, 11 drags the mean down, which is not good either.
Extras:
Mean: 11+11+18+32+34+115 =
221 divided by 6 =
36.88
