can someone help me please?

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

If the outliers are not included in the data set below, what is the mean of the data set? 42, 43, 46, 48, 57, 60, 96, 59, 38, 68, 29 47 48 49 52

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

i believe its d

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

can anyone tell me if that right please?

OpenStudy (richley):

The outliers of the data are the data points that do not fit in the general area of the rest. Can you identify those two points?

OpenStudy (richley):

So which points stand out?

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

im not sure @Richley

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

i added up all the points and divided by 9 and got 51.3333 @Richley

OpenStudy (richley):

Well, first organize them from lowest to highest

OpenStudy (richley):

You want to exclude the outliers

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

what exactly are the outlliners

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

@Richley

OpenStudy (richley):

First, organize the points from lowest to highest

OpenStudy (richley):

Then it's easier to get an idea of what the "outliers" are. Outliers are points that are not similar enough to the rest of the points to be considered useable data.

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

wait so it would 96 and 29 that are outliners?

OpenStudy (richley):

Yes!

OpenStudy (richley):

So exclude those 2 points

OpenStudy (richley):

and then find the mean of the leftover data.

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

its 51.333

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

can you see if thats right @Richley

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

please @Richley

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

thank you!

OpenStudy (orangebear):

I'm not so sure 29 is an outlier. Wouldn't the answer be 49?

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

d was wrong so you might be right @OrangeBear
