Answer:

Mean.

Explanation:

When a doctor analyzes the increase in systolic blood pressure caused by a certain chemo drug. The doctor would be more interested in studying the mean of the number of observed systolic blood pressures. As mean would give a better understanding of pressure since it involves the use of all observations. However, it is important to keep in mind that all the units should be considered for the average.
