OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Aw, and I was gonna help you with A.

jabez177 (jabez177):

Do you know what an Outlier is?

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Do you know how to find the mean (average)?

OpenStudy (jake124):

an observation point that is distant from other observations.[1][2] An outlier may be due to variability in the measurement or it may indicate experiment

jabez177 (jabez177):

B and C are basically the same, right? Or am I just seeing lag? :/

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

B is with outlier, C is no outlier @jabez177

OpenStudy (jake124):

yes what he said

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Basically B is finding the mean of ALL NUMBERS, C is taking the outlier value OUT. Then calculating the mean.

jabez177 (jabez177):

Outlier is a number in a set of data that is either way smaller or way bigger than most of the data. Find out what "outlier" means in math with help from an experienced mathematics educator in this free video clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0QdVzcWCGs

jabez177 (jabez177):

So the outlier is the BIGGEST number or the SMALLEST number FARTHEST away from the data set. Say for example I have numbers 1, 3, 5, 4, 6, 20, and2

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Um, I think he found the outlier already

OpenStudy (jake124):

yea the outlier is 28

jabez177 (jabez177):

20 is the outlier because it is FARTHEST away from the set. All the other numbers are within the range of the data set.

jabez177 (jabez177):

Ohhh!!! Sorry...

jabez177 (jabez177):

Mean is the average. So we add all the numbers in the set, then divide it by how many numbers there are. :)

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

"B. what is the mean of the data WITH the outlier included. C. what is the mean of the data WITHOUT the outlier included"

jabez177 (jabez177):

So in B. it is asking what is the average with the outlier. So we add all the numbers, including 28

OpenStudy (jake124):

theres 11 numbers

jabez177 (jabez177):

68+63+67+ 66 +65+ 87+ 69+ 61+ 86+ 82+ 28 = what?

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

mean formula:\[\frac{\text{Add all the values together}}{\text{Number of values in the set}}\]

jabez177 (jabez177):

What is the sum of all those numbers? :) Add them up. You may use a calculator.

OpenStudy (jake124):

742

jabez177 (jabez177):

Now how many numbers are there? 11, right? So we divide 742 by 11

OpenStudy (jake124):

dont know if this seems right 67.45454

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Mean values can be decimals.

jabez177 (jabez177):

Right on! :)

jabez177 (jabez177):

So for B, what is the answer?

OpenStudy (jake124):

what is the mean without the outlier ?

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Take the 28 out

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

And calculate the mean of the rest

jabez177 (jabez177):

Add the numbers together except the 28

OpenStudy (jake124):

714

jabez177 (jabez177):

Now divide it by 10 since we did not add the 28 in there so there are only 10 numbers. Divide 714 by 10

OpenStudy (jake124):

71.4

jabez177 (jabez177):

And that is your mean without the outlier. :)
