The number of bagels sold daily for two bakeries is shown in the table:

Bakery A Bakery B

60 34

52 40

50 36

48 38

53 41

47 44

52 40

60 39

Based on these data, is it better to describe the centers of distribution in terms of the mean or the median? Explain.

A. Mean for both bakeries because the data is symmetric

B. Mean for Bakery B because the data is symmetric; median for Bakery A because the data is not symmetric

C. Mean for Bakery A because the data is symmetric; median for Bakery B because the data is not symmetric

D. Median for both bakeries because the data is not symmetric
