Q. Select the outlier in the data set.11,18,20,21,22,23,25,226If 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: 11,18,20,21,22,23,25,226Looking at the numbers, 226 stands out as it is much higher than the rest of the values.
Calculate Mean Original: Step 2: Calculate the mean of the original data set.Mean = (11+18+20+21+22+23+25+226)/8Mean = 366/8Mean = 45.75
Calculate Mean Without Outlier: Step 3: Calculate the mean of the data set without the outlier.New data set without 226: 11,18,20,21,22,23,25Mean = (11+18+20+21+22+23+25)/7Mean = 140/7Mean = 20
Compare Means: Step 4: Compare the two means to determine if the mean increases or decreases after removing the outlier.Original mean: 45.75New mean without outlier: 20Since 20 is less than 45.75, removing the outlier decreases the mean.
