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.

please help :) Which number is greater than 3.14159 × 10 to the 4 power? A. 5,678,889 B. 9.897752 x 10 to the 6 power C. 71,224,
BARSIC [14]

Answer: C. 71,224,900

Based on the power, move the decimal point that many spaces to the right. (e.g., If it's 7.9 × 10^3, then move the decimal three spaces to the right, and you'd get 7900.)

3.14159 × 10^7 = 31415900

9.897752 × 10^6 = 9897752

2.468 × 10^7 = 24680000

Out of all the numbers mentioned in the question, 71,224,900 is the only one that's greater than 3.14159 × 10^7 = 31415900.
