Decide whether the following statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain your reasoning. I made a distribution of 15 apartment rents in my neighborhood. One apartment had a much higher rent than all of the others, and this outlier caused the mean rent to be higher than the median rent. Choose the correct answer below. A. The statement does not make sense because an outlier with a large value increases the mean and the median by the same amount. B. The statement makes sense because an outlier with a large value increases the mean, but does not affect the median. OC. The statement does not make sense because an outlier with a lar value increases the median, but does not affect the mean. OD. The statement does not make sense because an outlier with a large value decreases the mean, but does not affect the median.
