Chapter 12, Problem 3CR

To determine

To find: the term use to describe the data value much greater or less than the other values in a data set.

Answer to Problem 3CR

  $A\left(n\right)$ outlier is a data value much greater or less than the other values in a data set.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The data value much greater or less than the other values in a data set.

Concept used:

An outlier is an observation that lies an abnormal distance form other values in a random sample form population.

Calculation:

  $A\left(n\right)$ outlier is a data value much greater or less than the other values in a data set. The outlier would obviously be $55$ which is far greater than other number.

Example: if the data set is below $10$ and if its outlier data is $100$ which is $10$ time greater than the maximum value of data set so, the such number or value is called $A\left(n\right)$ outlier.

Hence, $\text{A}\left(\text{n}\right)$ outlier is a data value much greater or less than the other values in a data set.
