The mean is affected the most by an outlier.
Mode and Median
The median is the value which seperates the upper and lower half of a set of numbers. The mean is the average value between two or more numbers. In calculating a set of numbers, specifically a set of averages, the median may indeed be effected by the mean.
Yes, every dataset with at least one value has a median characteristic, which represents the middle value when the data is ordered. If the dataset has an odd number of values, the median is the middle one, while if it has an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle values. The median is a useful measure of central tendency, especially in skewed distributions, as it is less affected by extreme values compared to the mean.
The median of a graph typically refers to the median of a dataset represented by the graph, which is the middle value when the data points are arranged in order. If the number of data points is odd, the median is the middle value; if even, it is the average of the two middle values. In the context of graphical representations, such as histograms or box plots, the median can often be visually identified. It provides a measure of central tendency that is less affected by outliers compared to the mean.
The median is least affected by an extreme outlier. Mean and standard deviation ARE affected by extreme outliers.
The mean is affected the most by an outlier.
Mode and Median
Both the mean and median represent the center of a distribution. Calculating the mean is easier, but may be more affected by outliers or extreme values. The median is more robust.
The mean is most affected. Mode and Median are not influenced as much by outliers.
Of the mean, median and mode the mean would be most affected.
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.

Median, mode, quartiles, quintiles and so on, except when you get to very large number of percentiles.
