What is the outlier in this set of data 10064635862?
there is no outlier because there isn't a data set to go along with it. so theres no outlier
How does the outlier affect the range of a data set?
Range subtracts the lowest value from the value in your data set. If you have an outlier, meaning a number either obviously outside the data, your range will be incorrect because one of the values will not represent the average pattern of the data. For example: if your data values include 1,2,3,4,and 17, 17 would be the outlier. The range would be 16 which is not truly representative of the rest of the data.
How do you get an outlier?
the most common cause of an outlier is an error in the recording of data.
Can you have more than one outlier in a set of data?
Yes, any data point outside thestandard deviation its an outlier
A value separated from the rest of the data?
outlier
How does the outlier effect the data?
Outlier: an observation that is very different from the rest of the data.How does this affect the data: outliers affect data because it means that your calculations might be off which makes it a possibility that more than the outlier is off.
How does the outlier affect the mean of the data?
An outlier does affect the mean of the data. How it's affected depends on how many data points there are, how far from the data the outlier is, whether it is greater than the mean (increases mean) or less than the mean (decreases the mean).
What is the effect of the a small outlier value Will it affect of a data set?
No. The data set will remain the data set: they are the observations that are recorded.
How does the outlier affect the median?
Outlier does not affect the median.

How would the outlier affect the mean and median of the data?
An outlier will pull the mean and median towards itself. The extent to which the mean is affected will depend on the number of observations as well as the magnitude of the outlier. The median will change by a half-step.
How does the outlier affect the range of a data set?
Range subtracts the lowest value from the value in your data set. If you have an outlier, meaning a number either obviously outside the data, your range will be incorrect because one of the values will not represent the average pattern of the data. For example: if your data values include 1,2,3,4,and 17, 17 would be the outlier. The range would be 16 which is not truly representative of the rest of the data.
Given the following data 164 175 126 135 159 143 55 what effect will the outlier have on the median of the data if the outlier is excluded?
If the outlier is excluded the median of the data will be higher.
How do you get an outlier?
the most common cause of an outlier is an error in the recording of data.
What is the outlier in this data base 91232811?
A single observation cannot have an outlier.
What is an outlier and what central tendency is affected always by an outlier?
An outlier is a number in a data set that is not around all the other numbers in the data. It will always affect the average; sometimes raising the average to a number higher than it should be, or lowering the average to something not reasonable. Example: Data Set - 2,2,3,5,6,1,4,9,31 Obviously 31 is the outlier. If you were to average these numbers it would be something greater than most of the numbers in your set due to the 31.
How does outlier affect mean median mode?
An outlier pulls the mean towards it. It does not affect the median and only affects the mode if the mode is itself the outlier.
