Extreme numbers compared to the rest of the data are called?
Extreme numbers in the data as compared the the rest of the data are called OUTLIERS.
What are ouliers math?
outliers are numbers that stick out in a range for example 1,3,4,2,1003 so 1003 is the outlier in the range of numbers :D
Do you take the outlier out when calculating mean and median?
No. The mean is calculated by adding all of the numbers, then dividing that sum by [how many numbers]. The trimmed meandoes remove some outliers (same number of outliers at top and bottom, though). The median is the middle number of a sorted set.
Can you have more then one outlier?
Yes. If you have a large group that is very similar and 2 or 3 that are not similar, the numbers that are not the same are all outliers
What does the whisker in a box-and-whisker plot represent?
The whiskers mark the ends of the range of figures - they are the furthest outliers. * * * * * No. Outliers are not part of a box and whiskers plot. The whiskers mark the ends of the minimum and maximum observations EXCLUDING outliers. Outliers, if any, are marked with an X.
