How does a large outlier affect the data set?

Mathematics
1 answer:
tresset_1 [31]3 years ago
5 0
A large outlier could affect the data set because it could make the mean larger, which just means that the average number of the set would be a lot bigger than it already is.

An example would be: 1, 3, 5, 19

19 is obviously the large outlier, so to find the mean, we would add everything together then divide by 4.

The mean would be 28/4=7 So 7 is our mean, but if the large outlier were, let's say 50, then the mean would be way larger than it already is.

~Hope this helped!~

Is there a way to find all the factor pairs for a big number like 805 quickly
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The complete list of factors for 805 are 1, 5, 7, 23, 35, 115, 161, and 805.

Step-by-step explanation:

A factor pair is a combination of two factors which can be multiplied together to equal 805. In proper math terms, the number 805 is called the product and the two numbers that can be multiplied together to equal it are called the factors.

In order to work out the factor pairs of 805 we need to first get all of the factors of 805. Once you have the list of all those factors we can pair them together to list out all of the factor pairs.

The complete list of factors for 805 are 1, 5, 7, 23, 35, 115, 161, and 805.
