Data are collected about the amount of time, in minutes, each member of a dance troupe spend practicing. How does a single outlier change the median of the collected data? A single outlier doubles the value of the median. A single outlier does not affect the median. A single outlier causes the value of the median to move slightly toward the outlier. A single outlier causes the value of the median to move slightly away from the outlier

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

an outlier is a number that is a lot smaller or a lot bigger

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

so lets say we have a number set, 1,2,3,5,8,10, 500

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

so 500 is the outlier, without the 500, the median would be 4, and with the outlier, now the median is 5

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

so did it move the median slightly closer to the outlier?

OpenStudy (scoobydo):

so C

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):
