Move the blue and red dots to make different data sets. Observe the changes in mean, median, and standard deviation. Mean and Median of the Blue Dataset are both "blue" and Mean and Median of the Red Dataset are both"Red".
Consider the following questions:
1. Do mean and median always coincide? When would you want to use mean over median, and vice versa?
2. How do outliers affect mean, median, and standard deviation?
