An outlier is a number completely different from the rest in a set of data.
For example, in the set:
13, 17, 22, 15, 19, 11, 342, 14
342 is the outlier.

The outlier could affect the mean by making it drastically larger or smaller.
i don't know but it's one ov my vocab that i have to turn in:)
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.
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.
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
