Determine whether the mean or the median best describes the center of the data set and give its value

the median does

Step-by-step explanation:

cross out each value until there is one in the middle

the one in the middle is 42,016 and 42,729

so you would have to add those two together then divide by hom many numbers there are so the answer would be 42,016+42,729÷10 = 46,930.6
