Question

determine whether the statement is true or false. if it is false, rewrite it as a true statement. the mean is the measure of central tendency most likely to be affected by an extreme value (outlier). choose the correct answer below. a. true. b. false. the mode is the measure of central tendency most likely to be affected by an extreme value (outlier). c. false. the median is the measure of central tendency most likely to be affected by an extreme value (outlier).

Explanation:

Measures of central tendency include mean, median, and mode. The mean is calculated as the average, making it sensitive to extreme values (outliers) since it uses all data points. The median (middle value) and mode (most frequent value) are resistant to outliers. Thus, the statement that the mean is most affected by an outlier is true.

Answer:

A. True
