    Median

    Which is 26.5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    19, 22, 24, 26, 27, 30, 31,78

    78 is an outlier which makes mean a wrong estimate of the average.

    Mode is not available

    So the best option is Median

    Median is (26+27) / 2 = 26.5

    Because the data is skewed right, the mean would be affected
