Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The midrange, calculated as the average of the maximum and minimum values in a dataset, is the poorest measure of location when data contains extreme values because it is highly sensitive to those extremes. The median, $Q_{2}$, and the midquartile are more robust against outliers and extreme values.
