A value separated from the rest of the data?

outlier


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).


Explain the difference between the range and the outlier?

Range is the largest minus the smallest value in the data set. An outlier is a value that is far away from the majority of the data.


What is a data value that stands out from the other data values in the set?

An outlier


What is an extreme value within a data set?

Outlier


What is the term for a value separated from the rest of the data?

A value separated from the rest of the data is called an outlier


Which of the following is least affected if an extreme high outlier is added to your data mean median or standard deviation or ALL?

The median is least affected by an extreme outlier. Mean and standard deviation ARE affected by extreme outliers.


A data value that is much higher or lower than any other data values in a set?

the data value that is much higher or lower than the other data given is called an outlier


What is a data value that is much lower or higher than the other data in a set?

It may be an outlier.


If an outlier is included with a sample of 50 values all of which are the same what is the effect of the outlier on the mean?

By definition, an outlier will not have the same value as other data points in the dataset. So, the correct question is "What is the effect of an outlier on a dataset's mean." The answer is that the outlier moves the mean away from the value of the other 49 identical values. If the outlier is the "high tail" the mean is moved to a higher value. If the outlier is a "low tail" the mean is moved to a lower value.


What is the value that is not typical of most other values in a data set?

The value that is not typical of most other values in a data set is an 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.
