Q. Select the outlier in the data set.70,80,82,83,84,85,89,91,812If 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 70,80,82,83,84,85,89,91,812. Outliers are numbers that are significantly different from the others in a data set. Here, 812 stands out as it is much larger than the rest of the numbers.
Calculate Mean: Step 2: Calculate the mean of the original data set.Mean = (70+80+82+83+84+85+89+91+812)/9Mean = 1476/9Mean = 164
Remove Outlier: Step 3: Remove the outlier 812 and calculate the new mean.New Mean = (70+80+82+83+84+85+89+91)/8New Mean = 664/8New Mean = 83
Compare Means: Step 4: Compare the original mean 164 with the new mean 83 to determine if the mean increased or decreased.Since 83 is less than 164, removing the outlier decreased the mean.
