Q. Select the outlier in the data set.33,43,47,56,64,77,80,90,966If 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: 33,43,47,56,64,77,80,90,966To find the outlier, look for a number that is significantly different from the rest.Outlier: 966
Calculate Mean with Outlier: Step 2: Calculate the mean of the data set including the outlier.Mean = (33+43+47+56+64+77+80+90+966)/9Mean = 1456/9Mean = 161.78
Calculate Mean without Outlier: Step 3: Calculate the mean of the data set without the outlier.Mean without outlier = (33+43+47+56+64+77+80+90)/8Mean without outlier = 490/8Mean without outlier = 61.25
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 = 161.78Mean without outlier = 61.25Since 161.78 > 61.25, removing the outlier decreases the mean.
