Question

Identify the outlier of the data. Find the mean, median, and mode with and
without the outlier. Tell which measure the outlier affects most.
15. 120, 107, 133, 205, 118

Answer 1

Answer:

The outlier in this data set is 205. The outlier affects the mean the most because it is significantly larger than the other values, pulling the mean upwards. The median and mode are not affected by the outlier since they are not influenced by extreme values in the same way as the mean.
