The outlier is capable of affecting mean median mode and range
it affects mean because the average has changed
if affects median because you have to cross out 1 more letter
it doesn't affect mode
it does affect range because an outlier is a number that i far away from the other numbers
* * * * *
It does not affect the median.

How does an outlier affect data?
it messes up the mean and sometimes the median. * * * * * An outlier cannot mess up the median.
Why does an outlier affect the mean more than the median or mode?
An outlier affects the mean the most because... It doesn't affect the median much because it's really just another number in a sequence. The median has almost nothing to do with the actual value of the numbers because it's only the middle number in a sequence that's in order from least to greatest. It doesn't affect the mode very much because, again, it's really just another number in a sequence. The mode is only the umber that occurs most often in a sequence. It also has nothing to do with the actual value of the numbers in the sequence. It does affect the mean because an outlier is a number in a sequence outside of the limits (a totally different process that I will not explain). That means it's either lower than the lowest number within the limits or higher than the highest number within the limits. The mean is the average. To find the mean/average, you add up all of the numbers in a sequence and divide the sum by the amount of numbers in the sequence. If the outlier is lower than the limits, than the mean will be lower. If the outlier is higher than the limits, than the mean will be higher. The mean is the only one in this list of math terms (mean, median, and mode) that DOES have to do with the values of the numbers. I hope I was able to help you somehow :)
What five numbers have a range of 5 a median of 16 and a mean of 15?
What Five Numbers have a range of 5 a median of 16 and a mean of 15
Find the mean,median,mode and range of the following values:17,7,11,13,2,12,7.?
What is the answer
When is the median more useful than the mean?
When the distribution has outliers. They will skew the mean but will not affect the median.
