Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mean is calculated by summing all scores and dividing by the total number of scores. If there are a few extreme scores (much higher or lower than the rest of the scores), they will greatly influence the sum and, therefore, the mean. The median and mode are less affected by extreme scores. The range is a measure of dispersion, not central tendency.
