Which measure does not change if the outlier is discarded from the data? A data set shows various people's heart rates after exercising: ninety, ninety, ninety-four, ninety-six, one hundred sixty mean median mode range

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what each of these terms mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, then, what are you having troubles with in the question then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it d?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, the range goes from 90 to 160 not including the outlier- that means that it changes when we remove it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh thx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The mean obviously changes; once calculated, we can see that they're different.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because removing the outlier makes the number of data points go from an odd number to an even number, the median will become a decimal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This means that the only measure that does not change is the mode.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i had it right then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d is the fourth one, correct? And that's the range?
