Question

Options

• Mean

• Mean and Mode

• Mode

• Median

Answer 1

Median

Explanation:

The median is a positional average that represents the exact middle value of an ordered dataset. It is not affected by extreme values (outliers) because its calculation depends only on the central position, not on the actual magnitudes of the largest or smallest values. Conversely, the mean changes drastically because it sums all values together.
