The median would be affected because there are more numbers and the "middle" number will change. (ex. 12345 vs. 012345)

Although then you find the mean, 0 will not add any value, but you still have to include it as a value when you divide by the number of numbers. (ex. 0,1,2,3,4. Added together they equal 10, but to find mean you must divide 10 by the number of numbers. 10/5=2)
