Discussion
Which measure of central tendency is most affected by extreme values (outliers)?
Answer: A
The mean is the most sensitive to extreme values because its calculation involves the sum of all values. A very large or very small value can significantly pull the mean in its direction.
The median is resistant to outliers because it only depends on the middle value(s).
The mode is also resistant as it depends only on the frequency of values.
