Best Answer

In statistics, outliers are values outside the norm relative to the rest of collected data. Many times they can skew the results and distort the interpretation of data. They may or may not indicate anything significant; they might just be an anomalous data point that is not significant. It is difficult to tell.

Can you safely remove outliers from scatter charts?

You can only do it if either the outliers are way out - so far that they must be odd, so far that there can be no argument, no need for statistics to prove them to be outliers, or you need to prove that they are outliers using statistics - something like Grubb's test. To do that, the simplest way is software.
