Which response best describes outliers in these data sets?

anonymous · Answer

Neither data set has suspected outliers.
 The range of data is too small to identify outliers
. Video has a suspected outlier in the 26-hour value.
 Due to the narrow range of reading compared to video, the video values of 18, 21, and 26 are all possible outliers.
