There is no formal definition of a outlier: it is a data point that is way out of line wit the remaining data set.
If Q1 and Q3 are the lower and upper quartiles of the data set, then (Q3 - Q1) is the inter quartile range IQR. A high end outlier is determined by a value which is larger than
Q3 + k*IQR for some positive value k. k = 1.5 is sometimes used.
Excel does not have built in functions for outlier identification. However, if you want to identify quickly data that is in the very low or high range, then use the sort routine in Excel. You can make a scatter plot to identify points distant from the normal scattering. I've also included a related link, which shows some tests of outliers, which can be implemented using the functions in Excel. The Chauvenet's criteria involves use of normal distribution, available in Excel, to identify the probability of data points. An outlier is not necessarily an erroneous number. See related link. It is just a number that is distant from others the set. However, if there is some physical limit on your data, then you might want to screen for numbers beyond this limit. For example, you are measuring heights of men, so you will want to screen you data for heights too big or too small as possible data errors. Certainly, if you find a 600 ft person, you know that this outlier was an error, like forgetting a decimal point.
Calculate the mean, median, and range with the outlier, and then again without the outlier. Then find the difference. Mode will be unaffected by an outlier.
To find the third quartile (Q3) of a distribution, you need to arrange the data in ascending order and identify the value that separates the highest 25% of the data from the rest. Q3 is typically located at the 75th percentile, which can be calculated using the formula ( Q3 = \frac{3(n + 1)}{4} ), where ( n ) is the number of data points. If you provide the specific data points, I can help you calculate Q3 directly.
just go to the question like this and it will tell you
To find the mean on a dot plot, first sum the values represented by the dots. Then, divide that total by the number of dots (or data points) present in the plot. This will give you the average value, or mean, of the data set. The dot plot visually displays the distribution, helping you understand the data alongside the calculated mean.
i can not tell you need to space it out and to find outlier try using a box and whisker plot. and if it is just one number there is no outlier

The main utility of a cumulative frequency curve is to show the distribution of the data points and its skew. It can be used to find the median, the upper and lower quartiles, and the range of the data.

To find the lower extreme, you need to identify the smallest value in a data set. To find the upper extreme, you need to identify the largest value in the data set. These values represent the lowest and highest points of the data distribution.

In data management, the range is determined by calculating the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a dataset. To find it, first identify the highest and lowest values, then subtract the minimum from the maximum. This measure provides insights into the spread or variability of the data, helping to understand the extent of values present. It is a simple yet effective way to summarize the distribution of data points.
To find the mean from the absolute deviation, you first need to have the set of data points from which the absolute deviations were calculated. The absolute deviation is the absolute difference between each data point and the mean. To find the mean, sum all the data points and divide by the number of points, which gives you the average value. The absolute deviation can then be used to assess how much the data points deviate from this calculated mean.
One reason I can think of why you might not be able to find the mean of numerical data would be if there were missing data points.
it is used to find mean<median and mode of grouped data
