Identify Outlier: Identify the outlier in the data set.To find the outlier, we can look for a number that is significantly different from the rest of the numbers in the set. In this case, the number 5 stands out as being much lower than all other numbers, which are all above 50.
Calculate Mean: Calculate the mean of the original data set.To calculate the mean, add all the numbers together and divide by the number of values in the set.Mean = (5+54+58+59+60+63+65+70)/8Mean = (384)/8Mean = 48
