Explain WHEN and WHY you would use the median as a best measure of center (instead of either the mean or median)

Easy

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is just picking the middle number of a sequence of numbers.

The mean is only used to find the average of the numbers

so hope that settles it

The answer is:  "400 pizzas" .

Explanation:

For ham:
____________________________________
= (2÷2)/(6÷2) =   ,

{Note:   Sample of "60" ;  Refer to "20" for "ham" on the table.}.
______________________________________________

 = 400 .

{Note:  "1200 students" at the school; as given in the problem.}.
________________________________________________________
The answer is:  "400 pizzas".
_______________________________________________________
The assumption is that each student is gets to eat ONE WHOLE PIZZA for one's self ; or at least GAIN — or OBTAIN — ONE WHOLE PIZZA for oneself—each.   If EACH STUDENT is going to "eat less", or "obtain" less"; or "be allotted"—LESS THAN ONE WHOLE PIZZA EACH;  the  "400 pizzas" would decrease.

{Note that there are no such specifications given in the problem; as such, I mentioned "one whole pizza each"; or "be allotted one whole pizza each" (that one could, for instance, take home the rest for ONESELF).}.
