Can you not have an outlier in math?
It's possible. An outlier is a number that affects the the mean of a group of numbers greatly. For example the mean in this set of numbers (2, 4, 1, 5) is 3, but if I add the number 93 the new answer is 21.
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.
What an outlier in math mean?
a number that is unlike the other numbers. example: if you had the numbers 22, 24, 25, 105 and 20 the outlier would be 105 because it is so far away from the other numbers
