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).

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.
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 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.
Which of the following is least affected if an extreme high outlier is added to your data mean median or standard deviation or ALL?
The median is least affected by an extreme outlier. Mean and standard deviation ARE affected by extreme outliers.
How are the mean and standard deviation affected by an outlier?
The mean is "pushed" in the direction of the outlier. The standard deviation increases.
How does an outlier affect data?
it messes up the mean and sometimes the median. * * * * * An outlier cannot mess up the median.
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.
How does the outlier effect the data?
Outlier: an observation that is very different from the rest of the data.How does this affect the data: outliers affect data because it means that your calculations might be off which makes it a possibility that more than the outlier is off.
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 an outlier in a group of numbers affect the mean of the numbers?
The outlier skews the mean towards it.
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
If you take off the outlier does it make the mean change?
Yes, it will. An outlier is a data point that lies outside the normal range of data. This means that if it is factored in the mean will move in the direction the outlier is, really high if the outlier was high, and really low if the outlier was low.
How does the outlier effect the mean in math?
The outlier could affect the mean by making it drastically larger or smaller.
What will happen to the mean if the outlier 80 is taken out of the data set 30 35 80 35 30?
It will go down; with outlier, mean is 42 without outlier, mean is 32.5
What is the effect of the a small outlier value Will it affect of a data set?
No. The data set will remain the data set: they are the observations that are recorded.
How does the outlier affect the median?
Outlier does not affect the median.
What will happen if the outlier is taken out of a data set?
The mean is changed.
