Q. Select the outlier in the data set.19,29,45,52,53,55,60,62,368If the outlier were removed from the data set, would the mean increase or decrease?Choices:(A)increase(B)decrease
Identify Outlier: Identify the outlier in the data set.Data set: 19,29,45,52,53,55,60,62,368Outliers are values that are much higher or lower than the rest of the data. 368 is significantly higher than all other values.
Calculate Mean with Outlier: Calculate the mean of the data set including the outlier.Mean = (19+29+45+52+53+55+60+62+368)/9Mean = 743/9Mean = 82.56
Calculate Mean without Outlier: Calculate the mean of the data set without the outlier.Mean without outlier = (19+29+45+52+53+55+60+62)/8Mean without outlier = 375/8Mean without outlier = 46.875
Compare Mean Change: Compare the means to determine if the mean increases or decreases when the outlier is removed.Mean with outlier = 82.56Mean without outlier = 46.875Removing the outlier decreases the mean.
