Question
15 which measure of central tendency is most affected by outliers?
a. mode
b. all of the answers
c. median
d. mean
Brief Explanations
The mean is calculated by summing all values and dividing by the number of values. An outlier (an extremely high or low value) will significantly affect this sum and thus the mean. The mode is the most frequently occurring value and is not affected by outliers. The median is the middle - value when data is ordered and is less affected by outliers compared to the mean.
