So the questions is, add an outlier to the previous data set and explain what effect it has on each measure. 1,2,3,4,5,5,5,5,5,5

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well 50 is an outlier mode won't change mean gets larger median, the position moves from the 5th, to between the 5th and 6th, but the value is unchanged at 5. the range gets larger.... 50 - 1 = 49

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

you should calculate the mean with the outlier included and without the outlier, to show the change

Wait, where did 50 come from? lol

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

OpenStudy (campbell_st):
