1

Answer 2

wrong

Answer 3

I apologize for the incorrect response. In this case, the median would best describe the shape of the data set since it is less affected by extreme values (such as the high number of runs scored in Game 7) compared to the mean, which can be skewed by outliers. So, the correct answer is 2 for median.
