the mean is affected by outliers

Outliers pull the mean in the direction of the outlier.
The mean is better than the median when there are outliers.

Mean- If there are no outliers. A really low number or really high number will mess up the mean. Median- If there are outliers. The outliers will not mess up the median. Mode- If the most of one number is centrally located in the data. :)
They are observations with a low likelihood of occurrence. They may be called outliers but there is no agreed definition for outliers.
When the distribution has outliers. They will skew the mean but will not affect the median.
You will notice a difference in the data if you have outliers. The mean of a set is going to be heavily influenced by outliers due to the mean being dependant on the quantity of each unit (i.e. 2 cats, 7 cats, 300 cats, etc.) The median, however, is not influenced by outliers because it accounts for the number of units rather than the quantity associated with the units.
