Mr. Bridge teaches four regular classes ad a seminar. The number of students in his class are:

32, 29, 33, 8, 31

What is the most appropriate measure of the center?

A : The standard deviation

B : The mean

C : The median

D : The range

The value 8 is significantly different from the other four values. Thus, the median would be the most appropr. measure of the center of this data distribution. Rearranging the data in ascending order:

8, 29, 31, 32, 33

The median is the middle value; it is 31.
