Moderate
Which mean is most effected by extreme values?
Correct answer: B. AM
- A. GM
- B. AM
- C. HM
- D. Median
Explanation
The arithmetic mean uses every observation, so an unusually large or small value directly pulls it toward the extreme. The median is much less affected, while GM and HM are not the intended general answer here.
