An outlier can significantly affect the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) because MAD is calculated based on the average of the absolute deviations from the mean. Since an outlier deviates far from the mean, it increases the overall average of these deviations, leading to a higher MAD. This can distort the representation of variability within the dataset, making it appear more spread out than it truly is when excluding the outlier. Consequently, the presence of outliers can mislead interpretations of data dispersion.
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.
That would be outlier.
The outlier skews the mean towards it.
The outlier could affect the mean by making it drastically larger or smaller.
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.

An outlier can increase or decrease the mean and median It usually doesn't affect the mode
The outlier skews the mean towards it.
An outlier can significantly impact the median by pulling it towards the extreme value of the outlier, especially when the dataset is small. This can distort the central tendency measure that the median represents and provide a misleading representation of the typical value in the dataset.
Yes.

An outlier will have a huge affect on the range as the range is the largest value minus the smallest value.
it messes up the mean and sometimes the median. * * * * * An outlier cannot mess up the median.
No. The IQR is a resistant measurement.
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).
