Minnesota is the driest state in the Midwest. Average annual precipitation across the state ranges from around 35 inches (890 mm) in the southeast to 20 inches (510 mm) in the northwest. Autumn weather in Minnesota is largely the reverse of spring weather.
â¦ Compare the result for the mean, median, and mode when the outlier was included and when it was not included. Come to a conclusion about which measure of central tendency (mean, median, or mode) seems to be most affected by an outlier. Ask them to explain why that might be.
Skewed left distributions and/or datasets with low outliers: Mean (XÌ) is always less than median (M). (XÌ M) Let's Summarize. The two main numerical measures for the center of a distribution are the mean (XÌ) and the median (M). The mean is the average of the values, while the median is the middle value. The mean is very sensitive to outliers (as it factors in their magnitude), while the median is resistant to outliers. The mean is an appropriate measure of center only for symmetric distributions with no outliers. In all other cases, the median should be used to describe the center of the distribution.
