8. How do outliers affect the mean of a data set?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]3 years ago

Answer:

it depends on whether the outlier is a high outlier or a low outlier

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of a data set is the average of the data set. So if I had the data set {5, 2, 10} the average would be (5+2+10)/3 = 5.667. Now if I added an outlier like 10,000 it would increase the mean significantly. It changes it significantly but I cannot say whether it increases or decreases it without knowing the value of the outlier, since if I had the outlier -10,000 that would decrease the mean, but I had the outlier 10,000 it would increase it. So it depends on whether the outlier is a high outlier or a low outlier

4 different sizes of t-shirts are available

5 different colors of t-shirt are available

Different outcomes if the t-shirts have to be picked one by one:

Different outcomes = 4! + 5!

Number of combinations = 4 X 5

                                          = 20

Therefore, the total number of combinations available to just pick 1 t-shirt is 20
