Answer:

Both the mean and the median


Step-by-step explanation:

Whichever measure, mean or median, is higher, Ari will benefit from that.


Median:

Median is the "middle value" of the list when arranged from least to greatest.

Since there is 6 numbers, the middle number is between the 3rd and 4th number. Hence, we take the average of the 3rd and 4th number.

Arranged from least to greatest: 73, 76, 80, 88, 90, 97

Average of 3rd and 4th is the Median = [tex]\frac{80+88}{2}=\frac{168}{2}=84[/tex]


Mean:

Mean is the sum of all the number divided by the number of numbers (6).

So we have:

Mean = [tex]\frac{88+73+97+76+90+80}{6}=\frac{504}{6}=84[/tex]

Mean is 84


Since Mean and Median are both same (84%), both will be best measure of center for Ari.
