Answer:

e

Explanation:

Central tendency means “the statistical measure that identifies a single value as representative of an entire distribution." These measures include mean, median, and mode.

Andrew scores 79, 86, 63, and 82 on his tests.

63, 79, 82, 86

Mean: 79 + 86 + 63 + 82 = 77.5 or

Median: 79 + 82 = 80.5

(you have to add these numbers bc there is no exact median as none are repeating)

Mode: There is no exact mode since there is no repeating numbers.

He should use the mean bc the mean is a pretty good number.

I'm not sure if you would want to tell your mother that you're barely getting an average. or higher than failing.

either way, hope this helps :)
