A survey was taken of students in math classes to find out how many hours per day students spend on social media. The survey results for the first-, second-, and third-period classes are as follows:
First period: 2, 4, 3, 1, 0, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4, 9, 2, 4, 3, 0
Second period: 3, 2, 3, 1, 3, 4, 2, 4, 3, 1, 0, 2, 3, 1, 2
Third period: 4, 5, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, 1, 8, 2, 3, 1, 0, 2, 1, 3
Which is the best measure of center for first period and why?
Mean, because there are no outliers that affect the center
Median, because there is 1 outlier that affects the center
Interquartile range, because there is 1 outlier that affects the center**
Standard deviation, because there are no outliers that affect the center

What is the outlier?
There is no outlier. I added one and the interquartile changed.
I'm so sorry, I made a mistake in the question!! It is the best measure of center for second period!! Shall I repost?
