Statistics assuming normal distribution curve:

mm2:
Hi = 126. Low = 92.1
Mean = 106.
95% confidence interval for Mean: 87.52 thru 124.6
Standard Deviation = 14.9
Median = 103.
Average Absolute Deviation from Median = 11.5

mm3:
Hi = 107. Low = 82.1
Mean = 95.9
95% confidence interval for Mean: 80.51 thru 111.4
Standard Deviation = 12.4
Median = 101.
Average Absolute Deviation from Median = 9.64
