If there is an outlier in your data (a point very far from the other data, or a very long whisker), what is the best measure of center to use and why?
Median is best because the outlier skews the data.
Mean is best because the outlier doesn't skew the data.
Mode is always the best measure of center because it shows the most.

Mean will decrease.
Mean will increase.
Mean will stay the same.
Use the mean, the teacher's age, an outlier, won't affect the mean as much as the other measures.
Use the median so the teacher's age, an outlier doesn't affect the middle.
Use mode, the number on the list the most is best.
