It makes it a far better representation of the data

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. The mean decreases by 3. B. The mean increases by 2. C. The mean increases by 3. D. There are no outliers.

OpenStudy (scorcher219396):

D can immediately be eliminated, because there is clearly an outlier You know A isn't right either because the outlier is lower than most of the data, so removing it would have to make the average rise Then with B and C, you'd have to just calculate both means to see
