The mean is 30.33.

The median is 32.

The mode is 34.

In this case, the median best describes the data as it represents the middle value in the data set, and is not affected by outliers or extreme values. The mean and mode are both affected by the presence of the two 34s, which are higher than most of the other values in the data set.
