Exam DA0-001 topic 1 question 58 discussion

The best measure that would fulfill the analyst's goal is the Median. The median represents the middle value of a data set when the data is sorted in ascending or descending order. It is less sensitive to outliers and provides a better representation of typical values compared to the mean, which is affected by outliers. The mode represents the most frequently occurring value in a data set, but it may not provide a good representation of typical values. The standard deviation measures the spread of a data set, but it does not provide an average value. In this case, since the data set has a lot of outliers, the median would provide a better representation of the typical income compared to the mean, which would be affected by the outliers.

I would argue that because their are numerous outliers that would skew the data, the median is what this analyst wants the most.
