would the mean or median best describe the given data. explain your choice.

14, 17, 25, 15, 20, 18, 41

Put this data set 14, 17, 25, 15, 20, 18, 41 in order from smallest to largest

14, 15, 17, 18, 20, 25, 41

so median = 18
mean = (14 + 15 +17 + 18 + 20 + 25 + 41)/7 = 150 /7 = 21.43

mean is greater than median, so the mean would be best describe the given data. 

answer
the mean would be best describe the given data.
