Answer:

(C)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data set is:

{101, 2, 108, 104, 102, 107, 109, 102}

since, an outlier is the data point which differs frequently from the other data points, thus in the given data set, only 2 is the data point which differs frequently from the other data points.

Thus, 2 is an outlier.

Mean in this cannot be used because there is an outlier and it will change with outlier.

Also, median is the middle value of the given data set, thus median can be used to determine the center of the given data set.

Therefore, option C is correct.
