mode stays the same = 9 average decreases, move value from right to left of "percieved" average median = (10 values) iniatilly above 1, below 1.2 you move from right to left = median should decrease, between .9 and 1

mode most resistant to extreme values mean changes the most with extreme values median better predictor of central tendency in schewed distributions
