What value, the mean or median, best describes the shape of the data set that contains the number of goals scored by the soccer team?(1 point)

The median best describes the shape of the data set, as it is not influenced by extreme values such as the 8 goals scored in game 9. The median would give a more accurate representation of the typical number of goals scored by the team in a game.
