(Round your answer to four decimal places.) z = Find the z-score corresponding to the minimum in the data set. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Find the z-score corresponding to the maximum in the data set. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) z = Do the z-scores indicate that there are possible outliers in the data set? Since the z-score for the larger observation is larger than 2 in absolute value, the larger value is unusually large. Since both z-scores exceed 2 in absolute value, both of the observations are unusual. Since neither z-score exceeds 2 in absolute value, none of the observations are unusually small or large. Since the z-score for the smaller observation is larger than 2 in absolute value, the smaller value is unusually small.arrow_forward
