                                                                              ______

which has a value of 21

                                  ____

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The best measure of center for this data is 21 that is mode or median and this can be determined by checking the deviation from the lowest number and the highest number.

Given :

Table-

Year                                      2011          2012      2013     2014      2015

Number of Cakes Sold          21              28          19         26          21

First determine the mean, mode, and median of the given data.

$\rm Mean = \dfrac{Sum\; of \;the \;terms}{Number\;of \; terms}$

$\rm Mean = \dfrac{21+28+19+26+21}{5}$

$\rm Mean = \dfrac{115}{5}$

Mean = 23

The median of the given data is 21.

The mode of the given data is 21.

Now, check the deviation from the lowest number and the highest number. The best measure of center for this data is 21.
