Which measures of central location and variability are considered to be resistant to extreme values?
A) The mean and standard deviation.
B) The mode and variance.
C) The median and interquartile range.
D) None of these choices.
Interquartile Range
A measure of statistical dispersion, represented by the difference between the 25th and 75th percentiles of a dataset.
Median
The middle value in a dataset when it is arranged in ascending or descending order, or the average of the two middle values if the dataset has an even number of observations.
Extreme Values
Extreme values refer to observations that are significantly higher or lower than the majority of the data in a data set, often leading to skewed analysis results.
- Identify the differences among various metrics of variability and central position by evaluating their susceptibility to anomalous values.
