You are supposed to help them @arianadarsh not just give them the answer. They will not learn anything if you just give it to them. That's like going to college and you get your degree on the first day.

Answer 9

Outlier has a definition in Quantitative Literacy. If an Answerer gives the definition of the Outlier, then the Asker will know how to find one. To simply say, "An outlier lies out" is vague.

>> I don't know how to explain. The person probably knows what it means but its hard to identify

If the Asker knew the definition of "outlier," would the Asker have posted this question?
And, if an Answerer does not know how to explain, should the Answerer reply to the question?
