median

mean

Explanation:

Analyze the shape of the distribution

Using the Histogram Interpretation and Symmetric Distribution knowledge points
The histogram displays a bell-shaped, balanced distribution centered around 500. The left and right tails are roughly equal in length and frequency, indicating that the data is symmetric.

Using the Measures of Center knowledge point
For symmetric distributions without extreme outliers, the mean is the most reliable and standard measure of central tendency because it incorporates every data point.
