When the outliers are removed, how does the mean change?

The mean remains the same.
The mean decreases by 2.
The mean increases by 2.
There are no outliers.

Answer 1

The mean increases by two.

15+23+24+26+27+35 = 140
140/6 = 23.3

23+24+26+27 = 100
100/4 = 25

The mean roughly increases by 2.

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is A) The mean remains the same.

Step-by-step explanation: To find the mean you add up the total of numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are.

so, 15+23+24+26+27+35= 150 divided by 6 = 25.

Now without the outliers, 23+24+26+27=100 divided by 4 = 25

So with and without the outliers the mean still stays 25
