Question

Which of the following sets of data does not contain an outlier?

Answer 1

Outliers are numbers that don't seem to fit into a list of numbers. This number will stand out, and will either be a way smaller number than the rest, or way bigger.

Answer 2

The answer is list number 1

Answer 3

but I thought that 78 could be considered on?

Answer 4

Oh sorry lol. The list that does not contain an outlier is list 2.

Answer 5

typed the wrong number lol

Answer 6

List 1 is the correct answer. The 78 is an outlier.

Answer 7

the question is which list does not have an outlier.

Answer 8

Oh my bad, I should learn to read more carefully

Answer 9

that's ok. I had to go back an read it

Answer 10

I think for list 2, we could consider 1 to be an outlier since its far from the cluster {6,7,5,8,9}

Answer 11

if so, then all of the lists have outliers

Answer 12

so would it be 101, 99, 98, 111, 101, 101, 103 because they are all close ?

Answer 13

cause list number 3 has 111, and that is larger than 103

Answer 14

You may have to set up boxplots for each

Answer 15

thats true

Answer 16

answer number two has an outlier, but it is less than 5 digits way, while list number 3 has an outlier that is 8 digits away. I am pretty sure the answer is list number two. The answer might be none of them. Is this question a multiple-choice or a type question?

Answer 17

If it is a type question, I would put none of them, then explain why. If it is a multiple-choice, pick list number two, then if it is wrong, talk to your teacher about it and explain that all of these lists have outliers

Answer 18

Hope this helps :)
