The standard deviation decreases for both the sample mean and median when sample size increases. The standard deviation of mean decreases from 15.31 to 3.308 and the standard deviation of median decreases from 14.75 to 3.39. So, according to the analysis, the mean appears to be a more appropriate measure of center.
