Answer to Problem 16E
The value of outlier will be 46 as it is much higher value than the others.
The value of mean and median decreases and the mode remains the same.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given data set is:
Calculation:
The value of outlier will be 46 as it is much higher value than the others.
Order the data:
The value of mean will be:
