Question

Find the data set that places 22.6 as an outlier.

Answer 1

The data-set that places 22.6 as an outlier is given as follows:

2.4, 5.3, 3.5, 22.6, 1.8, 2.1, 4.6, 1.9

When a measure is considered an outlier in a data-set?

A measure is considered an outlier in a data-set if it is very far from other measures, especially in these two cases:

• If the measure is considerably less than the second smallest value.

• If the measure is considerably more than the second highest value.

In this problem, he data-set that places 22.6 as an outlier is given as follows:

2.4, 5.3, 3.5, 22.6, 1.8, 2.1, 4.6, 1.9.

The second highest value is 5.3, which is considerably less than 22.6, hence 22.6 is an outlier in the data-set.
