Which measure of center works best here?

The median works best. The mean is highly affected by the largest value and the mode is well to the left of the distribution's center.

Each center of measure works equally well.

The mean works best. The mode is highly affected by the largest value and the median is well to the left of the distribution's center.

The mode works best. The median is highly affected by the largest value and the mean is well to the left of the distribution's center.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the value that occurs most frequently in a data set. A data set may have more than one mode if multiple categories repeat an equal number of times. For example, in a data set with five item—3, 5, 5, 29, 473—the mode is 5 because it occurs twice and no other value occurs more than once. On a histogram or bar chart, the element with the highest bar represents the mode. Therefore, the mode is sometimes considered the most popular option. The mode is useful for nominal or categorical data (e.g., the most common color car that users purchase), but it is problematic for continuous data because it is more likely not to have any value that is more frequent than the other.
