The histogram of Men's Body Fat is most nearly symmetric, is not strongly skewed, and shows no outliers. These characteristics make it appropriate to summarize the center with a mean. The other variables have either strong skewness or outliers, which can make the mean less representative of the typical body fat percentage.
