Does adding values that are much greater or much less than the other values in a set of data affect the median of the set

Well, first off, after you've arranged the entire set numerically, the median is the middle number.  Therefore, depending on the numbers in the set, adding another number has the possibility of changing the median. However, it does not matter if the additional values are much greater or much less than the other values.
