An outlier can make the range go up.
Example:
say you have the numbers. 2,5,4,1,7,and 18.
in order from least to greatest: 1,2,4,5,7,18
range is the greatest number - the littlest number.
so in this case it is 18-1 which equals 17
say if there was no outlier and the highest number was 7
it would be 7-1 which is 6 and it makes the outlier smaller....

Can there be more than one outlier in a set of data?
Yes there can be more then one outlier
Extremely high or low values in a data set are called?
Outlier
A data value that is much higher or lower than the other data in a set is called what?
it is called an outlier
How does the outlier effect the mode in a set of data?
It doenst affect the mode, as the mode is just all the numbers in order, lowest to highest.. E.g. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Hope this helps... :)
How does the outlier effect the mean median and mode in a set of data?
There would be a difference to the median. The old number wouldn't be the median but the mode wouldn't change. If the outlier is a high value, it will cause the mean value to shift to the higher side, while a low valued outlier will drop the mean value to a lower number.
How does the outlier affect the range of a data set?
Range subtracts the lowest value from the value in your data set. If you have an outlier, meaning a number either obviously outside the data, your range will be incorrect because one of the values will not represent the average pattern of the data. For example: if your data values include 1,2,3,4,and 17, 17 would be the outlier. The range would be 16 which is not truly representative of the rest of the data.
Explain the difference between the range and the outlier?
Range is the largest minus the smallest value in the data set. An outlier is a value that is far away from the majority of the data.
What is the effect of the a small outlier value Will it affect of a data set?
No. The data set will remain the data set: they are the observations that are recorded.
What is the value of a data set most likely to be affected by an outlier?
The range.
What is the outlier in this set of data 10064635862?
there is no outlier because there isn't a data set to go along with it. so theres no outlier
What is an outlier and what central tendency is affected always by an outlier?
An outlier is a number in a data set that is not around all the other numbers in the data. It will always affect the average; sometimes raising the average to a number higher than it should be, or lowering the average to something not reasonable. Example: Data Set - 2,2,3,5,6,1,4,9,31 Obviously 31 is the outlier. If you were to average these numbers it would be something greater than most of the numbers in your set due to the 31.
What is data instance that is not typical for a given set of data?
An outlier.
What do you take if there is an outlier in data?
If a data set has an outlier, you would normally deal with it by omitting it from the average of the other values.
Can there be more than one outlier in a set of data?
Yes there can be more then one outlier
Can you have more than one outlier in a set of data?
Yes, any data point outside thestandard deviation its an outlier
What is a data value that stands out from the other data values in the set?
An outlier
What is an extreme value within a data set?
Outlier
