central tendency is not influenced by
outliers?
A. Mean C. Median
B. Weighted Mean D. Mode
Median
Advantage of the median: The median is less affected
by outliers and skewed data than the mean, and is
usually the preferred measure of central
tendency when the distribution is not symmetrical.
Weighted arithmetic mean is similar to an
ordinary arithmetic mean, except that instead of
each of the data points contributing equally to the
final average, some data points contribute more
than others.

Turgor Pressure
Turgor pressure pushes the plasma membrane against the
cell wall of plant, bacteria, and fungi cells as well as those
protist cells which have cell walls.
Osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure which needs to
be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of
water across a semi-permeable membrane. It is also
defined as the measure of the tendency of a solution to
take in water by osmosis.
There are no such things as wall pressure and plasma
pressure.
