Answer 1

There is one outlier (27) that indicates an unusually large number of cars in the parking lot that day

Answer 2

Answer:

The outlier is 27, because is the number that is higher than the average.

So, the true statement about this outlier is that indicates an unusually large number of cars in the parking lot that day.

Therefore, the true statement is

There is one outlier that indicates an unusually large number of cars were in the parking lot that day.

It won't make sense to say that indicates a lower number of cars, because the outlier is higher than the average.
