Do you know what outliers are?

anonymous · Answer

Yeah but I'm confused on how to find them.

luigi0210 · Answer

It's kind of simple. All you have to do is find values that are outcasts pretty much. Don't belong close in a group, like so: http://prntscr.com/69498q (From MathIsFun.com) :P

anonymous · Answer

Okay...

luigi0210 · Answer

Maybe plotting them will help? http://prntscr.com/6949ro

luigi0210 · Answer

So I guess you could say they're all outliers (from the options)

anonymous · Answer

So maybe 30 and 83?

HI!

misty1212 · Answer

i would go with 83 for sure
nice to be baking at that age though...

luigi0210 · Answer

Actually, all of them, since an outlier is defined as numbers that are "far away" from the group, i.e. 30, 38, 74, 83..

luigi0210 · Answer

The group being defined from 49 to 61.

anonymous · Answer

Oh okay!

luigi0210 · Answer

You could try getting a second opinion on this if you wish from everyone else.
