Front

How does adding a constant to each data point affect the Mean?

Back

Adding a constant to each data point increases the mean by that constant.

Front

How does adding a constant to each data point affect the Median?

Back

Adding a constant to each data point increases the median by that constant.

Front

How does adding a constant to each data point affect the Mode?

Back

Adding a constant to each data point increases the mode by that constant.

Front

How does adding a constant to each data point affect the Range?

Back

The range remains unchanged when a constant is added to each data point.

Front

What is an Outlier?

Back

An outlier is a value in a data set that is significantly higher or lower than the other values.

Calculate the Mean: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50
