Answer:

Mean and the range

Explanation:

Mode doesn't depend on the value, so removing an outlier will not alter the mode.

The median may or may not change.

For instance the data set is:

1 2 3 3 3 3 99

Removing the outlier will not alter the median in this case

Since removing the outlier changes the sum drastically, mean also changes
