Which measure of central tendency is most affected by extreme values or outliers?

  • All are equally affected
  • Mean
  • Median
  • Mode
The mean is most affected by extreme values or outliers. The mean calculates the average of all data points in a dataset. Therefore, when an extreme value (either very high or very low compared to the rest) is introduced, it can significantly impact the mean. The median and mode are less affected by outliers.
