The arithmetic mean is sensitive to extreme values because it takes into account all values and gives greater weight to the extreme values in the calculation. The median and interquartile range are not as sensitive to extreme values because they only take into account the middle values of a dataset. The 1^st quartile is not a commonly used statistical measure.
