When the outlier is removed The mean would increase.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Outliers are the value that lies outside the set of data. i.e. the data doesn't fit in the group.

Removing outliers can affect mean more than median. Because outlier removal sometimes affect the median but in a small percentage or sometimes it will remain the same.

Let us prove, consider 16 values one with 78 and other 15 with values nearly 85, 84 that will give the mean value as 84.

78, 84, 82, 86, 84, 85, 83, 86, 82, 85, 84, 83, 86, 85, 86, 85.

Mean =\frac{Sum of the values}{Number of values}.

Mean =\frac{78+84+82+86+84+85+83+86+82+85+84+83+86+85+86+85}{16}.

Mean =\frac{1344}{16}.

Mean = 84.

Remove 78 from the data set then the data set is 84, 82, 86, 84, 85, 83, 86, 82, 85, 84, 83, 86, 85, 86, 85 and number of data is reduced to 15.

Mean =\frac{84+82+86+84+85+83+86+82+85+84+83+86+85+86+85}{15}.

Mean =\frac{1266}{15}.

Mean = 84.4.

The mean is increased.

4. Where in the ocean does the water droplet need to be located in order to evaporate?
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

C or D most likely C

Step-by-step explanation:

Definitely not A or B they don’t matter or make sense.. C makes more sense because it’s directly hit with heat needed to evaporate, for D to be lower it’ll take longer if at all to evaporate because it’s colder closer to the sea floor

Which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequality 2x+3y≥−1 ?
Pavlova-9 [17]
There are many pairs that are solutions to this inequality. You can find them all by graphic this on a coordinate plane and then shading the region. 

You can also plug any of the ordered pairs that they give you into the equation and see if they produce a true statement.
