Answer:

With Outlier:

Median: 85
Mean: 103
Mode: 85

Without Outlier:
Median: 85
Mean: 85
Mode: 85

Explanation:

Basically order the numbers from least to greatest. Include the outlier to find the median, mean, and mode. The median is clear as day with the outlier, being the middlemost number: 77, 84, 85, 85, 88, 91, 211. To find the mean, just add all of the numbers together and then divide them by how many numbers there are. In this case, that'd be 7 and you get 103. The mode is simple as it's the number that repeats the most, which is basically 85 since it repeats twice in the set. After you find the median, mean, and mode with the outlier, now rewrite the numbers (still least to greatest) but excluding the outlier (211). It should now be 77, 84, 85, 85, 88, 91. For the median, our middlemost numbers are 85 and 85, so simply just add them together and then divide by two. This gets you 85 for the median. For the mean, simply just add the numbers in the new set excluding the outlier and divide by 6 since that's how many numbers we have in the set now. This gives you 85. The mode is the number most repeated, and that's still 85.
