Question

2. Given the data 14, 26, 23, 19, 24, 46, 15, 21: a. What is the outlier in the data? b. What is the mean with the outlier? c. What is the mean without the outlier? A. 14; 20.3; 23.5 B. 14; 23.5; 20.3 C. 46; 20.3; 23.5 D. 46; 23.5; 20.3

Answer 1

The answer is D

The outlier is the datum that is unlike the rest. 46 is much bigger than the others, so it's our outlier.

That leaves C and D

A mean with a larger outlier would be bigger than the mean if it were removed.

The only answer in which keeping the outlier yeilds a higher mean is D

Answer 2

a)The outlier in the data is 46.

b)The mean with outlier is 23.5.

c)The mean without an outlier is 20.3.

Given the data 14, 26, 23, 19, 24, 46, 15, 21

What is an outlier in the statistics?

In statistics, an outlier is a data point that differs significantly from other observations.

a)In the given dataset, 46 differs significantly from other observations so 46 is the outlier.

b) The mean with outlier = (14+26+23+19+24+46+15+21)/8

The mean with outlier =188/8

The mean with outlier =23.5

c)The mean without outlier = (14+26+23+19+24+15+21)/7

The mean without outlier = 142/7

The mean without outlier =20.3

Therefore, a)The outlier in the data is 46.

b)The mean with outlier is 23.5.

c)The mean without outlier is 20.3.
