What effects do outliers have in the measures of central tendencies? Which measure would be the best to use?


Sagot :

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

An outlier can affect the mean by a lot.  For example, if my neighbor moves out and Bill Gates moves in (he would be a super outlier!), the mean annual income would increase enormously.

The median, on the other hand, would not change at all.  The income in the middle is still the income in the middle; Gates' income would not budge the median.
