Question

the mean is the \most sensitive\ average because it is affected by any change in the data.
a) determine the mean, median, mode, and midrange for 2, 3, 5, 6, 6, 9, 14.
b) change the 9 to 13 in part (a). determine the mean, median, mode, and midrange.
c) which averages were affected by changing the 9 to 13?
d) which averages will be affected by changing the 14 to 13 in part (a)?
