well, they're both affected. you will get both answers wrong if you make a mistake so it doesnt matter which one is more important, just pay attention
the median and mode are but the mean is not
mean~ all the numbers in the data added together divided by the number of data. The mean is the same as the average. median~ the exact middle of the set of data. Example: 1,1,2,2, the median is 1.5 mean- the average median- the middle number in a set of numbers in a group.Example of Median-1,3,5,7,9,4,5 (put them in order and list them from least to greatest)1,3,4,5,5,7,9the median is 5!

The mean is affected the most by an outlier.
If a data set consists of 1000 different values can the mean and the median be the same
The median is least affected by an extreme outlier. Mean and standard deviation ARE affected by extreme outliers.
An outlier will pull the mean and median towards itself. The extent to which the mean is affected will depend on the number of observations as well as the magnitude of the outlier. The median will change by a half-step.
No, not all data sets have a mode but all data sets have a mean and median.
You can estimate the median and the mean.
The median is used when reporting ordinal data.

The population data may be skewed and thus the mean is not a valid statistic. If mean > median, the data will be skewed to the right. If median > mean, the data is skewed to the left.
what do you mean by data handling define mean mode median
The mean is affected the most by an outlier.
Yes. If you have very high or very low outliers in your data set, it is generally preferred to use the median - the mid-point when all data points are arranged from least to greatest. A good example for when to avoid the mean and prefer the median is salary. The mean is less good here as there are a few very high salaries which skew the distribution to the right. This drags the mean higher to the point where it is disproportionately affected by the few higher salaries. In this case, the median would only be slightly affected by the few high salaries and is a better representation of the whole of the data. In general, if the distribution is not normal, the mean is less appropriate than the median.
