If an outlier is included with a sample of 50 values all of which are the same what is the effect of the outlier on the mean?
By definition, an outlier will not have the same value as other data points in the dataset. So, the correct question is "What is the effect of an outlier on a dataset's mean." The answer is that the outlier moves the mean away from the value of the other 49 identical values. If the outlier is the "high tail" the mean is moved to a higher value. If the outlier is a "low tail" the mean is moved to a lower value.
Would a mean be smaller or larger if you leave out an outlier?
Depends on whether the outlier was too small or too large. If the outlier was too small, the mean without the outlier would be larger. Conversely, if the outlier was too large, the mean without the outlier would be smaller.
How do you determine how the outlier affects the mean median mode and range?
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.
A data value much higher or lower than the other data in a set is called?
It's called an outlier
What is an example of a outlier range?
1,2,3,4,20 20 is the outlier range
An extreme value in a set is called what?
An outlier (mathematics/statistics), or radical value (sociology).

What is a larger number or amount called?
An outlier
Extremely high or low values in a data set are called?
Outlier
Is Median an outlier?
No, median is not an outlier.
Can a outlier be zero?
0s are not the outlier values
What is a data point called that stands out away from all of the rest of the data?
An 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

Depends on whether the outlier was too small or too large. If the outlier was too small, the mean without the outlier would be larger. Conversely, if the outlier was too large, the mean without the outlier would be smaller.
Is 101 a outlier?
No. A single observation can never be an outlier.
What would happen if a outlier was removed from the mean?
The answer depends on the nature of the outlier. Removing a very small outlier will increase the mean while removing a large outlier will reduce the mean.
How do you determine how the outlier affects the mean median mode and range?
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.
