1/2 + 1/2 + 2/3 + 3/4 + 47/48 + 48/49 +49/50 = 5.35542517007
This decimal form is ≈ to 5 2/5
Your answer is A. If we find the slope of the line and draw it out farther, we can see that the points 4,7,10, and 13 would fall on that line.
18,38,38,40,44,44,44,46,48....
the mean with the outlier (18) included is : 360/9 = 40
38,38,40,44,44,44,46,48
the mean with the outlier (18) excluded is : (360 - 18) / 9 = 342/9 = 38
so when the outlier is removed, the mean is 2 points less
