Certainly, option I is true. Outliers are by definition far away from the average/median/mode/whatever measure of central tendency you use.

i dpnt knwosorry think only this but no sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you think both one a two could be true? @SithsAndGiggles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure I follow what's being said in option II. What does it mean for the x-variable to contain an outlier?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess it means if your range for the x is 1-10 and the x variable given is something like 50
