I have included a link on outliers. The definition as given in Wikipedia is similar to those in other textbooks: In statistics, an outlier is an observation that is numerically distant from the rest of the data. It is not a rigorous definition, because "numerically distant" adds an element of subjective judgement. Values which are far removed from the typical range (or grouping) of a sample are not necessarily erroneous data. For this reason, the use of adjectives that add some doubt as "apparent" or "possible" to the term outlier is correct. See related link for examples of outliers.
