How does outlier affect mean median mode?
An outlier pulls the mean towards it. It does not affect the median and only affects the mode if the mode is itself the outlier.
Can you not have an outlier in math?
It's possible. An outlier is a number that affects the the mean of a group of numbers greatly. For example the mean in this set of numbers (2, 4, 1, 5) is 3, but if I add the number 93 the new answer is 21.
How does the outlier effect the mean in math?
The outlier could affect the mean by making it drastically larger or smaller.
What does the outlier affect the most out of mean median and mode?
The mean. Or the mode.
How does the outlier affect the mean and median?
The mean is better than the median when there are outliers.
How does outlier affect mean median mode?
An outlier pulls the mean towards it. It does not affect the median and only affects the mode if the mode is itself the outlier.
How does the outlier affect the mean median mode and range?
The outlier is capable of affecting mean median mode and range it affects mean because the average has changed if affects median because you have to cross out 1 more letter it doesn't affect mode it does affect range because an outlier is a number that i far away from the other numbers * * * * * It does not affect the median.
How does the outlier affect the mean?
An outlier is a number that is very high or very low from the others. For example: 10, 15, 20, 5, 25, 25, 20, 50. Its mean would be 21.25, because the 50 is the numbers' outlier.

How does the outlier affect the mean median mode?
An outlier can increase or decrease the mean and median It usually doesn't affect the mode
How does the outlier effect the mean in math?
The outlier could affect the mean by making it drastically larger or smaller.
How does the outlier affect the mean of the data?
An outlier does affect the mean of the data. How it's affected depends on how many data points there are, how far from the data the outlier is, whether it is greater than the mean (increases mean) or less than the mean (decreases the mean).
What does the outlier affect the most out of mean median and mode?
The mean. Or the mode.
How does an outlier affect data?
it messes up the mean and sometimes the median. * * * * * An outlier cannot mess up the median.
Does the outlier affect the mean median and mode?
Yes, no, and no. The mean uses all numbers so it WILL be influenced by an outlier (sometimes heavily). The median is the middle number, so it can't be. The mode is the most frequent number, so it really can't be.
How does the outlier affect the mean and median?
The mean is better than the median when there are outliers.
How would the outlier affect the mean and median of the data?
An outlier will pull the mean and median towards itself. The extent to which the mean is affected will depend on the number of observations as well as the magnitude of the outlier. The median will change by a half-step.
