In this lesson, we want to see what happens to our measures of central tendency and spread when we make changes to our data set. Specifically the changes made either by changing all the values in the set at once, or by adding a single data point to, or removing a single data point from, the data set.

Read MoreMeasures of central tendency are different ways we’ve come up with to describe the “middle,” “center,” or most typical value of the data. They include the mean, the median, and the mode, and we need to know how to find all three.
