    Yes it does

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The average is shifted to higher side if higher number is present in a data set.

    suppose the following set of data

    20, 40, 60, 100

    avergae of data = (20+40+60+100) / 4 = 55

    now suppose following set of data

    20,40,60,1000

    average of data = (20+40+60+1000) / 4 = 280
