What value, the mean or the median, best describes the shape of the data set that contains the number of runs scored by the baseball team? Choose 1 for mean and 2 for median.

It is generally recommended to use the median to describe the shape of a data set when dealing with skewed or non-normally distributed data, as the median is less influenced by extreme values compared to the mean. So the best choice to describe the shape of the data set containing the number of runs scored by the baseball team would be 2 for median.
