Question

Which of the following is not affected by outliers in the data shown below?

32, 20, 21, 23, 24, 24, 101, 45, 27, 101, 101

Answer 1

45 will most likely be the least affected because it is the median of the data set, everything else would have been brought down or up by a gradual amount but since 45 is the middle number, it most likely won't.
