Which data set has an outlier? 25, 36, 44, 51, 62, 77 3, 3, 3, 7, 9, 9, 10, 14 8, 17, 18, 20, 20, 21, 23, 26, 31, 39 63, 65, 66,

It's hard to tell where one set ends and the next starts. I think it's
A. 25, 36, 44, 51, 62, 77
B. 3, 3, 3, 7, 9, 9, 10, 14
C. 8, 17, 18, 20, 20, 21, 23, 26, 31, 39
D. 63, 65, 66, 69, 71, 78, 80, 81, 82, 82
Let's go through them.
A. 25, 36, 44, 51, 62, 77
That looks OK, standard deviation around 20, mean around 50, points with 2 standard deviations of the mean.
B. 3, 3, 3, 7, 9, 9, 10, 14
Average around 7, sigma around 4, within 2 sigma, seems ok.
C. 8, 17, 18, 20, 20, 21, 23, 26, 31, 39
Average around 20, sigma around 8, that 39 is hanging out there past two sigma. Let's reserve judgement and compare to the next one.
D. 63, 65, 66, 69, 71, 78, 80, 81, 82, 82
Average around 74, sigma 8, seems very tight.
I guess we conclude C has the outlier 39. That one doesn't seem like much of an outlier to me; I was looking for a lone point hanging out at five or six sigma.
Answer:
Distance of Sun and Mercury = 58,000,000 km.
In Scientific notation, it would be: 5.8 × 10⁷ Km
Diameter of a human hair = 0.0025 cm
In scientific notation, it would be: 2.5 × 10⁻³ cm
Before Comparison, we need to bring centimeter to Kilometers or vice-versa, so we can easily calculate then, here, we will go from cm to Km.
2.5 × 10⁻³ × 10⁻⁵ Km = 2.5 × 10⁻⁸
Now, we can compare the values,
5.8 × 10⁷ Km > 2.5 × 10⁻⁸
[ reason. - power of smaller number is in negative, it means, it is denominator, which would be very small as compared to other ]
