How does the outlier affect the mean and median?
The mean is better than the median when there are outliers.
Which measure of central tendency is robust when outliers are present?

How can you determine which measure of central tendency is best for the set if data?
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. :)
What are ouliers math?
outliers are numbers that stick out in a range for example 1,3,4,2,1003 so 1003 is the outlier in the range of numbers :D
What are the measurements that fall beyond three standard deviations from the mean?
They are observations with a low likelihood of occurrence. They may be called outliers but there is no agreed definition for outliers.
