Solution

The statement that is not true about the median is: "It is more affected by extreme values than the mean". This is incorrect because the median is actually less affected by extreme values or outliers than the mean. The mean takes into account all values in a data set, so extreme values can greatly affect it. The median, on the other hand, is simply the middle value, so it is not affected by extreme values unless they change the middle value.
