The median number of emails received by people of Group A is higher because of the absence of an outlier. 

The median number of emails received by people of Group B is higher because of the presence of an outlier. 

The mean number of emails received by people of Group B is higher because of the absence of an outlier.

 The mean number of emails received by people of Group A is higher because of the presence of an outlier.

What is the mean and median from the data, you think?

geekfromthefutur · Answer

Anyone know it?

anonymous · Answer

The "mean" is the "average" you're used to, where you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers.

The "median" is the "middle" value in the list of numbers. To find the median, your numbers have to be listed in numerical order, so you may have to rewrite your list first.

Therefore, the mean number of emails received by people of Group A is higher because of the presence of an outlier, (a number out of range in context with the others; so in this case 200 in group A).

Well for group A the median is 1 and the median for group B is 5 and the mean idk

All your answer choices asks about the effect of the outlier.

Group B has no outlier and so there is no effect of the outlier on Group B.

Group A has an outlier.  Does this outlier affect the mean or the median?  You don't have to calculate and find the mean or the median to answer this.  See sylvia's answer above.
