Values that are either extremely high or low in a data set are called 'outliers'. They are typically 3 standard deviations or more from the mean.

What does infinity equal?

Infinity does not equal anything because it is not a numerical entity. Infinity is a concept used to describe extremely high values, or the tendency of a function to output extremely large values as the input approaches a certain value. To get more informations on the concept of infinity, see "limits".


How do you work out the range of values a box will extend in a boxplot using the mean score 100 and standard deviation 20?

It is not possible to determine the range since there is always the possibility that there are outliers. Also, there is no information about the skewness of the data. If the distribution is symmetric, there is a high probability (99.75%) that the values will lie within 3 standard deviations of the mean - that is between 40 and 160.


What determines the standard deviation to be high?

Standard deviation is a measure of the scatter or dispersion of the data. Two sets of data can have the same mean, but different standard deviations. The dataset with the higher standard deviation will generally have values that are more scattered. We generally look at the standard deviation in relation to the mean. If the standard deviation is much smaller than the mean, we may consider that the data has low dipersion. If the standard deviation is much higher than the mean, it may indicate the dataset has high dispersion A second cause is an outlier, a value that is very different from the data. Sometimes it is a mistake. I will give you an example. Suppose I am measuring people's height, and I record all data in meters, except on height which I record in millimeters- 1000 times higher. This may cause an erroneous mean and standard deviation to be calculated.


What is 1000 sided shape called?

A 1000 sided shape is called a chiliagon. The term "chiliagon" is derived from the Greek words "chilioi," meaning thousand, and "gonia," meaning angle. A chiliagon has 1000 equal sides and 1000 equal angles. It is a polygon with an extremely high number of sides, making it a rare and interesting geometric shape.
