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
Do you know what each of these terms mean?
yeah
Okay, then, what are you having troubles with in the question then?
is it d?
No, the range goes from 90 to 160 not including the outlier- that means that it changes when we remove it.
oh thx
The mean obviously changes; once calculated, we can see that they're different.
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.
This means that the only measure that does not change is the mode.
i had it right then
?
d is the fourth one, correct? And that's the range?
