Answer:

If the mean, including the outlier is 84 and the outlier is below the mean, then if the outlier is removed then the median could increase, it definitely wouldn't decrease, but the new mean would definitely increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

16 x 84 = 1344

if you take out the outlier 1344 - 78 = 1266

1266/15 = 84.4 new mean when outlier is removed.
