Calculate the measure of center without outliers.
Explanation: Outliers can strongly skew the mean, range, and standard deviation. Using a measure of center that ignores or downweights outliers (e.g., the median or a trimmed mean) helps avoid misinterpreting the central tendency of the bulk of the data.
