Q. Select the outlier in the data set.7,61,63,66,69,70,84,94If 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: 7,61,63,66,69,70,84,94.To find the outlier, look for a number that is significantly different from the rest. Here, 7 is much lower than all other numbers.
Calculate Mean: Step 2: Calculate the mean of the original data set.Mean = (7+61+63+66+69+70+84+94)/8Mean = 514/8Mean = 64.25
Remove Outlier: Step 3: Remove the outlier 7 and calculate the new mean.New data set: 61,63,66,69,70,84,94.New mean = (61+63+66+69+70+84+94)/7New mean = 507/7New mean = 72.43
Compare Means: Step 4: Compare the original mean 64.25 with the new mean 72.43 to determine if the mean increased or decreased.Since 72.43 is greater than 64.25, the mean increased after removing the outlier.
