Answer 4

Do you know what an outlier is?

Answer 5

no I need help can you explain?

Answer 6

i barely just started this lesson

Answer 7

An outlier is a data point whose values are well away from other data points. For example the value 96 is an outlier. Can you find another?

Answer 8

29?

Answer 9

Good work! Therefore if 96 and 29 are excluded from the data set, there are 13 data values remaining. To find the mean of these 13 values:
1. Add up the 13 values.
2. Divide the total found in step 1 by 13.

Answer 10

I only see 9 other numbers what do you mean by 13 values?

Answer 11

The values in your posted question are copied below:
42, 43, 46, 48, 57, 60, 96, 59, 38, 68, 29 47 48 49 52

Answer 12

The last four values, 47 48 49 52, are each on a separate line in your posted question.

Answer 13

ohh ok I was wondering where those numbers came fro myea those are the multiple choice answers

Answer 14

so when I add them up I start to divide by the first number

Answer 15

?*

Answer 16

np. Therefore you need to add
42 + 43 + 46 + 48 + 57 + 60 + 59 + 38 + 68 = ?
Then divide the total by 9 to find the mean.

Answer 17

how would I find out which number to divide the numbers by? where'd you get 9 from?

Answer 18

oh ok I see where you got 9 from

Answer 19

There are 9 data values, and we need to find the mean value of them. To find the mean value, we add up the 9 values. Then we divide the total amount by the number of data values, which is 9 in this case.
