Bryan plays on the high school basketball team. In his first ten games, he scored 12, 14, 8, 9, 8, 16, 8, 13, 22, and 19 points.

Choose and calculate the best measure of central tendency to represent Bryan's scoring over the first ten games. Justify your choice.

The best tendency is the "middle" or "most common" value, so basically it's either the mean or the mode- in this case we use the mode and we can see 12,14,8,9,8, 13, 22 ,19 so 8,8,9,12,13,14,18,22 ; the answer is 13

To find the best measure of central tendency for Bryan's basketball scores (12, 14, 8, 9, 8, 16, 8, 13, 22, 19), the mean is 13.8, the median is 12.5, and the mode is 8. The median is chosen as the best representation, as it shows a typical performance without being influenced by outliers. Therefore, the median (12.5) is the most reliable measure in this case.
