Q. Select the outlier in the data set. 35,45,63,79,83,84,95,97,604
Identify Data Set: Identify the given data set.The data set provided is: 35,45,63,79,83,84,95,97,604.
Find Significant Number: Look for any number that is significantly different from the others.By inspection, we can see that 604 is much larger than all the other numbers in the data set.
Determine Outlier: Determine if 604 is an outlier by comparing it to the rest of the data. An outlier is a data point that is significantly different from the rest of the data. In this case, 604 is much higher than the second highest number, 97, which suggests that it is an outlier.
Confirm Outlier: Confirm the outlier by calculating the interquartile range (IQR) and using it to define the upper bound for outliers, if necessary.However, since the difference between 604 and the rest of the numbers is so large, we can confidently conclude that 604 is an outlier without further calculations.
