Find the outlier in the data set 5,7,10,10,90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The outlier is 90 because it is farthest off from the rest of the numbers. Hope that makes sense!

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Well, "farthest off" is not sufficiently objective. If it were 5, 7, 10, 10, 19 the 19 would be farthest off. The better criterion is "nowhere near". Indeed, 90 is nowhere near the other values.
