An outlier is an extreme point of data on the plot. It is significantly greater or less than the rest of the data.

Example:

*50% of the class got 80/100 points on the test

*49% of the class got 78/100 points on the test.

*However, only 1% of the class got 99/100 points on the test.

The small percentage that got the 99 would be the extreme outlier.
