Answer 1

Answer: The median is the best measure of center, and it equals 19.

Explanation:

Not 1- we don't know the mean, and it wouldn't be 19 because of the extra low and high numbers (8 and 31)

Not 3- the mean definitely doesn't equal 6 because no values are under 8

Not 4- the median doesn't equal 6 because it equals 19
