The correct answer is the Mean
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean and median are two measurements used in statistics and related areas. The median refers to the value of the middle; for example, if the values are 1, 2, 2, 5, 8, the median is 2, which is at the center of the data listed. On the other hand, the mean is the average, this is obtained by adding all the values; for example, 1 + 2 + 2 + 5 + 8 = 18, and then dividing this number by the total of values 18 ÷ 6 = 3.
From these, the mean is the one that will be affected if extreme values are added as each value increases or decreases the mean. For example, if the value 30 is added to the end 1 + 2 + 2 + 5 + 8 + 30 = 48, then 48 ÷ 7 = 6.8 the mean goes from 3 to 6.8, which shows it is greatly affected. This does not occur with the mean 1, 2, 2, 5, 8, 30 because in this case, the mean would be 2 + 5 = 7 and 7÷ 2 = 3.5 which is only slightly different from the first mean and in most cases the mean would even be the same.
