Choose the correct answer below.
O A. The mode best describes the set of measurements. It is not affected by the outlier, and it accurately approximates the center of the distribution.
O B. The mean best describes the set of measurements. Even though it is affected by the outlier, it accurately approximates the center of the distribution.
O C. The mean best describes the set of measurements. It is not affected by the outlier, and it accurately approximates the center of the distribution.
O D. The mode best describes the set of measurements. Even though it is affected by the outlier, it accurately approximates the center of the distribution.
O E. The median best describes the set of measurements. Even though it is affected by the outlier,
accurately approximates the center of the distribution.
