Q. Select the outlier in the data set.5,66,72,73,77,80,90,97If 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: 5,66,72,73,77,80,90,97.To find the outlier, look for a number that is significantly different from the rest. Here, 5 is much lower than all other numbers.
Calculate Mean: Step 2: Calculate the mean of the original data set.Mean = (5+66+72+73+77+80+90+97)/8Mean = 560/8=70
Calculate Mean Without Outlier: Step 3: Calculate the mean without the outlier 5. New data set: 66,72,73,77,80,90,97. Mean = (66+72+73+77+80+90+97)/7 Mean = 555/7=79.29
Compare Means: Step 4: Compare the two means to determine if the mean increases or decreases after removing the outlier. Original mean = 70, New mean without outlier = 79.29. Since 79.29 is greater than 70, the mean increases after removing the outlier.
