OpenStudy (ankit042):

can you figure out the outlier in the data?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

44

OpenStudy (ankit042):

Yes great! now if we remove this value from the data you can calculate other things

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i know that the mode stays the same i just forgot how to find mean and median

OpenStudy (ankit042):

mean will reduce ....as a large number is not included in the system

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you do if you have 2 medians?

OpenStudy (ankit042):

you mean in the case of an even number of terms. You take and average of two values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

average as in..... subtract? then i get 0

OpenStudy (ankit042):

NO add them and divide by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cause 15+15=30 and 30/2=15

OpenStudy (ankit042):
