What measures of central location is affected most by extreme values?
The mean is most affected. Mode and Median are not influenced as much by outliers.
What are the advantages of mode?
extreme values don't affect the mode
When is the mean used as a measure of central tendency?
When there aren't extreme values (outliers)
What is the median in a set of data?
The middle value so half the data is above it and half the data is below it. It is often used because extreme values tend to affect it less than other measures of central tendency. If you have an even number of data points, the median is the mean of those two points. ( So you add the two values and divided by two)
What data that does not fit well with the rest of a data set.?
They are called extreme values or outliers.
What measures of central location is affected most by extreme values?
The mean is most affected. Mode and Median are not influenced as much by outliers.
Why median is not a consistent estimator?
Because it is easily influenced by extreme values (i.e. it is not unbiased).
The measure of location that is the most likely to be influenced by extreme values in the data set is the range?
mean

Which variation is very sensitive to extreme values?

Importance of measures of central tendency?
Measures of the general value are a common need. Average, Median, and Mode are the three commonest.Average is the arithmetic average of all the values.Median is the actual measurement which is midwaybetween the extreme values, and is often closest to the average.Mode is the commonest value.Other indicators of central tendency, may ignore all value beyond say, three standard deviations, and thus ignore the contribution by the extreme, and uncommon, values.
What is the meaning of sensible values?

When computing Standard deviation should you eliminate the extreme values?
Generally not without further reason. Extreme values are often called outliers. Eliminating unusually high values will lower the standard deviation. You may want to calculate standard deviations with and without the extreme values to identify their impact on calculations. See related link for additional discussion.
