Q. Select the outlier in the data set.11,16,24,36,80,95,99,547If the outlier were removed from the data set, would the mean increase or decrease?Choices:(A)increase(B)decrease
Identify Outlier: Step 1: Identify the outlier in the data set.Data set: 11,16,24,36,80,95,99,547.To find the outlier, look for a number that is significantly different from the rest. Here, 547 stands out as it is much larger than the other numbers.
Calculate Mean with Outlier: Step 2: Calculate the mean of the data set including the outlier.Mean = (11+16+24+36+80+95+99+547)/8Mean = 908/8Mean = 113.5
Calculate Mean without Outlier: Step 3: Calculate the mean of the data set without the outlier.Mean without 547=(11+16+24+36+80+95+99)/7Mean without 547=361/7Mean without 547=51.57
Compare Mean Changes: Step 4: Compare the two means to determine if the mean increases or decreases when the outlier is removed.Mean with outlier = 113.5Mean without outlier = 51.57Since 113.5 is greater than 51.57, removing the outlier decreases the mean.
