Are data always numbers?
No it can be word data
Are the mean median and mode always numbers from a list of data?
the median and mode are but the mean is not
Is it true that the median is always one of the data points in a set of data?
No, it is not necessarily true that the median is always one of the data points in a set of data. The median is found by arranging the data in numerical order and selecting the middle value. This value might be one of the data points, but it could also be the average of two data points if there is an even number of values in the set.
What is an outlier and what central tendency is affected always by an outlier?
An outlier is a number in a data set that is not around all the other numbers in the data. It will always affect the average; sometimes raising the average to a number higher than it should be, or lowering the average to something not reasonable. Example: Data Set - 2,2,3,5,6,1,4,9,31 Obviously 31 is the outlier. If you were to average these numbers it would be something greater than most of the numbers in your set due to the 31.
What is numerical data?
That means that the data consists of numbers, or represents numbers.
