There is no single definition of an outlier, but they are observations that are way out of line in comparison to other observations - either too small or too large.

One way is to first find the inter-quartile range (IQR). Now multiply this by 1.5 and add it to the upper quartile and subtract it from the lower one. Any point beyond these values is an outlier.

Can you safely remove outliers from scatter charts?

You can only do it if either the outliers are way out - so far that they must be odd, so far that there can be no argument, no need for statistics to prove them to be outliers, or you need to prove that they are outliers using statistics - something like Grubb's test. To do that, the simplest way is software.
