Answer: Median, 4

Explanation:

Its Median because of the outlier (a data point on a graph or in a set of results that is very much bigger or smaller than the next nearest data point.) In order to find the median we need to find the mean... so line up the numbers from least to greatest and indentify the numbers in the middle which is 4!
