Extreme Data Points

Examine the effects of extreme data points on center

Analyze each data set for extreme values. Then, find the mean and median for each data sets. Finally, calculate the mean and median of the data sets after removing extreme values.

\(1,\)\(5,\)\(9,\)\(1,\)\(8\)

Interpret differences in shape, center, and spread in the context of the data sets, accounting for possible effects of extreme data points (outliers).
