The mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis and all higher moments of a distribution.
Enzymes are affected by both pH and temperature. Changes in pH can alter the shape and charge distribution of the enzyme, affecting its ability to bind to substrate molecules and catalyze reactions. Extreme pH levels can denature the enzyme and render it nonfunctional.
There really isn't a rigorous definition, except that they are beyond the usual range of the data. To some it may be a value (or range of values) that could occur 1:50 times, to others it might be 1:1000 or 1:10000 times. It may be a very high number or a very low number, but it must be a number whose occurrence is rare.
The Latin word for extreme is "extremus."
To find the lower extreme, you need to identify the smallest value in a data set. To find the upper extreme, you need to identify the largest value in the data set. These values represent the lowest and highest points of the data distribution.
The ability of an enzyme to catalyze a reaction is not affected by changes in temperature or pH within a certain range known as the enzyme's optimal conditions. However, extreme changes in temperature, pH, or enzyme concentration can denature the enzyme and affect its activity. Additionally, the substrate concentration can affect the rate of reaction up to a point of saturation, where all enzyme active sites are occupied.
The median is least affected by an extreme outlier. Mean and standard deviation ARE affected by extreme outliers.
The mean is most affected. Mode and Median are not influenced as much by outliers.
The mean is the least resistant to outliers because it is influenced by every value in the dataset, including extreme values. In contrast, the median, which represents the middle value, is less affected by outliers, as it depends only on the order of the data. The mode, being the most frequently occurring value, is also generally unaffected by outliers. Thus, in terms of sensitivity to extreme values, the mean is the most vulnerable.
Yes, it is.
Yes, the mean is generally a better measure of central tendency when there are no outliers, as it takes into account all values in the dataset and provides a mathematically precise average. In the absence of outliers, the mean reflects the true center of the data distribution effectively. However, in the presence of outliers, the median might be preferred since it is less affected by extreme values.
The mean is the measure of central tendency most influenced by outliers. Since it is calculated by summing all values and dividing by the number of values, extreme values can significantly skew the result. In contrast, the median and mode are less affected by outliers, making them more robust measures in such situations.
the mean is affected by outliers
Yes.
Outliers pull the mean in the direction of the outlier.
When there aren't extreme values (outliers)
Both the mean and median represent the center of a distribution. Calculating the mean is easier, but may be more affected by outliers or extreme values. The median is more robust.
Extreme numbers in the data as compared the the rest of the data are called OUTLIERS.
