Answer:
The boys are being challenged to jump of a bridge by a high school bully.
Explanation:
I think the theme of this short storiy is sometimes standing up to greater powers may cause punishment but it is still the right thing to do. An example of this is when Mike the bully is counting and instead of jumping on three Fenny jumps on two. Fenny didn't want to conform to Mikes rule so he jumps on his own. It's his life to control and not Mikes. Although Mike gets mad at him and punches Fenny, Fenny knows he did the right thing.
One symbol in this story is the man a girl fishing up stream from the bridge. this symbolizes calmness, of how he is about to do this stunt but is focused on these two fishers. The way he looks in the distance to focus on something so simple as people fishing while he has this mean bully yelling at him, making him jump off a bridge.
The atmosphere is a peculiar thing. There can be different things in the air and we wouldn't even know it. We inhale different things from the atmosphere and we sometimes don't even notice.
Energy is in everything. We have energy, a pencil has energy, heck! A piece of cheese string has energy. When we move, we are using our energy, when a pencil writes or falls, that is energy. When we eat cheese, it turns to energy in our stomachs!

The correct answer is: "Median is not affected by extreme values".
The median is the value located in the middle position of the sample, at the same distance for the upper and lower values. For instance, in this dataset {1, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 13}, the median is 8, in the fourth possition from the left and from the right.
It is usually compared with the mean. The main difference is that the mean is affected by outliers but the median is not. In the example used above, if substituting the value 13 for 100, the median would still be 8, as it would continue being in the fourth position from both sides.
On the other hand, the mean in the original dataset is 7.57, while after the modification it increases to 20.
