The median and mode are not influenced by extreme values, as they are only concerned with the middle or most frequently occurring value in the dataset. The arithmetic mean and geometric mean are both affected by extreme values, as they take into account the values of all the data points in the set. The mode is not always a reliable measure of central tendency, especially in datasets with multiple modes or when the data is continuous. Therefore, the best choice(s) are the median and mode for datasets with extreme values.
