Best Answer

It is the biggest or lowest number out of the set. The number would be way different than the rest.

Example:

14 12 52 17 19

The outlier would be 52 because it is the biggest number.

Example:

59, 42, 77, 65, 10

The outlier would be 10 because it is the lowest number.

How do you determine how the outlier affects the mean median mode and range?

Calculate the mean, median, and range with the outlier, and then again without the outlier. Then find the difference. Mode will be unaffected by an outlier.

The answer depends on the nature of the outlier. Removing a very small outlier will increase the mean while removing a large outlier will reduce the mean.


How do you find the maximum that is less than the limit for the Upper Quartile. In other words I want to find the maximum value of a dataset that EXCLUDES outliers?

There is no universally agreed definition of an outlier. One conventional definition of an outlier classifies an observations x as an outlier if: x > Q3 + 1.5*IQR = Q3 + 1.5*(Q3 - Q1) A similar definition applies to outliers that are too small. So, to find the maximum that is not an outlier, you need to find the upper and lower quartiles (Q3 and Q1 respectively) and then find the largest observation that is smaller than Q3 + 1.5*IQR = Q3 + 1.5*(Q3 - Q1)
