The number of bagels sold daily for two bakeries is shown in the table. Bakery A Bakery B 53 34 52 40 50 36 48 38 53 41 47 44 55 40 51 39 Based on these data, is it better to describe the centers of distribution in terms of the mean or the median? Why? Select the correct answer below. Mean, because there are no outliers to affect the data Mean, because the distribution is perfectly symmetric for both bakeries Median, because the distribution for Bakery B is not symmetric Median, because there are outliers that affect both data sets

I think the answer is A??

Mean works best when there are no outliers in the data
