What is the mean of this set of numbers without the outlier? 2,3,2,1,3,2,3,1,10. Help ill give Best Response to the Best Response (Lol)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, the mean is adding up all the numbers and dividing by how many numbers there are, so can you figure out the answer now? @OpenStudyRocks5*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ugh sorry, i was afk for a sec, and giving direct answers don't help at all :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was gonna say that xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha. :P

OpenStudy (igreen):

What do you think is the outlier?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^^

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

9 numbers @AnswerMyQuestions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to add then divide by 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, but it says without the outlier. Which number is the outlier?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you have 9 numbers in the group

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the outlier? 0-o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AnimeWover The question says without the outlier. :)

OpenStudy (igreen):

An outlier is a number that is too big or too small than the rest of the group. So what is the outlier her? 2, 3, 2, 1, 3, 2, 3, 1, 10

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

But it says without the outlier @iGreen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So once you find the outlier you would have to divide by 8 and add all the numbers up excluded the outlier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so we need to find the outlier. What is it?

OpenStudy (igreen):

*here

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

So the outlier is the smallest number or something?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Which number looks a lot bigger/smaller than the rest.

OpenStudy (igreen):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @iGreen An outlier is a number that is too big or too small than the rest of the group. So what is the outlier her? 2, 3, 2, 1, 3, 2, 3, 1, 10 \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

10?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep

OpenStudy (igreen):

So we take that out and find the mean. \(\dfrac{2 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 1}{8}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to find the outlier, then you need to remove it from the group, the outlier is the biggest/smallest number, once you find it, remove it or don't use it, you said you had 9 numbers, in all, but exclude the outlier, add all the numbers up except for the outlier, then you divide by how many numbers there are excluding the outlier.....so don't use it at all

OpenStudy (igreen):

Simplify that. @OpenStudyRocks5*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So can you add 2 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 1? @OpenStudyRocks5*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Add those first. ^^^

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

yeah 17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you see how many numbers there are and then you divide

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then divide by 8. :)

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yeah, divide by 8.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So divide 17 \(\div\) 8. :)

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

2.125

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, you got it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes! That's your answer!

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

Man I don't know o to give the best repspone to @AnswerMyQuestions and @iGreen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha. :P

OpenStudy (igreen):

You can give it to both of us.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Open this post in the same tab and then give it to both.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

With a glitch. :P

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

No you cant? it says You've already picked the best response

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

Loading a long time :|

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

There you go did u both get it? @AnswerMyQuestions @iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

You have to take it away first..

OpenStudy (igreen):

Make sure you haven't given any and then do it..

OpenStudy (igreen):

Looks like it worked

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. :)
