Q. Select the outlier in the data set.51,61,63,66,70,76,77,83,386If 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 given data set.The data set is: 51,61,63,66,70,76,77,83,386An outlier is a data point that is significantly different from the rest of the data. In this case, 386 stands out as it is much higher than the other values.
Calculate Mean with Outlier: Calculate the mean of the data set including the outlier.Mean = (51+61+63+66+70+76+77+83+386)/9Mean = (933)/9Mean = 103.67 (rounded to two decimal places)
Calculate Mean without Outlier: Calculate the mean of the data set without the outlier.Mean without outlier = (51+61+63+66+70+76+77+83)/8Mean without outlier = (547)/8Mean without outlier = 68.375
Compare Means: Compare the means to determine if the mean would increase or decrease upon removal of the outlier. The mean with the outlier is 103.67, and the mean without the outlier is 68.375. Removing the outlier would decrease the mean.
