An outlier can make the range go up.
Example:
say you have the numbers. 2,5,4,1,7,and 18.
in order from least to greatest: 1,2,4,5,7,18
range is the greatest number - the littlest number.
so in this case it is 18-1 which equals 17
say if there was no outlier and the highest number was 7
it would be 7-1 which is 6 and it makes the outlier smaller....

it is called an outlier
How does the outlier effect the mode in a set of data?
It doenst affect the mode, as the mode is just all the numbers in order, lowest to highest.. E.g. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Hope this helps... :)
How does the outlier effect the mean median and mode in a set of data?
There would be a difference to the median. The old number wouldn't be the median but the mode wouldn't change. If the outlier is a high value, it will cause the mean value to shift to the higher side, while a low valued outlier will drop the mean value to a lower number.
