A disadvantage of the mean as measure of central tendency is that?

The disadvantage of the mean as a measure of central tendency is that it can be affected by extreme values, also known as outliers. Outliers are values that are significantly higher or lower than the rest of the data set, and they can skew the mean towards their direction. This means that the mean may not accurately represent the typical or average value of the data. For example, if a data set contains one extremely high value, the mean may be much larger than most of the other values and not represent the typical value of the data set.
