The distribution of the number of fruit-filled cupcakes is best described as **skewed** (assuming the histogram shows more customers buying fewer cupcakes, which is a common pattern).
So, the **median** is a more appropriate measure of center than the **mean**.
This is because the median is less affected by outliers and skewed data, providing a better representation of the "typical" customer in this case.
