Answer:
(C)
Step-by-step explanation:
An outlier is the observation which is quite far away or different from the rest of the given data values of the given data set.
(A) It is given that An outlier is always near another data value which contradicts the existed definition of an Outlier, thus this statement is false. Hence, this option is incorrect.
(B) The median of the given data set is the middle value of the data set, thus an outlier cannot act as a median, thus this statement is false, Hence, this option is incorrect.
(C) An outlier can be the maximum or minimum of the data but cannot be near the given data, thus this statement is true, Hence, this option is correct.
(D) It is given that Every set of data must have an outlier, which may or may not be true, as the data set may or may not contain an outlier in it, thus this statement is false, Hence, this option is incorrect.
