Disadvantages of the mean in statistics?
the mean is affected by outliers
Is absolute mean deviation affected by outliers?
Yes.
How can the median and mean be different?
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.
Do you take the outlier out when calculating mean and median?
No. The mean is calculated by adding all of the numbers, then dividing that sum by [how many numbers]. The trimmed meandoes remove some outliers (same number of outliers at top and bottom, though). The median is the middle number of a sorted set.
What is it called when the minimum and maximum values in a data set?
They are called outliers
