Answer :

The answer will be Median.

What is Median?

The midway value in a sorted, ascending or descending list of numbers is known as the median, and it has the potential to be a more accurate representation of a data collection than the average. It serves as the midway of the data because it is where half (50%) of the observed data falls.

In a list of numbers, the middle value is known as the median. Prior to calculating the median value, it is necessary to sort or arrange the data in ascending or descending order of value. However, the median should not be mistaken with the real mean; rather, it can be used to estimate an approximate average or mean.

In the particular case she record the comment of 8 students during one class period.

Hence here median will be most apprpriate for summarizing this data.
