I’m pretty confident that the median is the right answer since it’s the middle value, but I might be mixing it up with weighted mean.

I’m torn between the median and mode. I feel like the mode could also be less affected, but I need to think more about it.

I remember practicing a similar question where the mean was affected by outliers, so I guess it’s the median here too.
