Sometimes outliers can have a significant effect on statistics, and sometimes they don't. Use the following distribution to determine which statistics
are affected by outliers. Round to the nearest hundredth.
2,4,5,7,8
a. Find the median of the distribution.
b. Find the mean of the distribution.
c. Find the standard deviation of the distribution.
d. Make a new distribution consisting of the same first four numbers, but change the 8 to 800. Find the mean, median, and standard deviation.
Mean
Median
Standard Deviation
e. Which statistic was least changed by the outlier of 800?
