2. 85, 78, 82, 76, 89, 77, 78, 42, 83, 84, 87, 85, 78
What effect does the outlier have on the mode of this data?
1. The mode increases.
2. The mode decreases.
3. The mode cannot be calculated.
4. The mode remains the same.

the mode remains the same

Step-by-step explanation:

42 is outlier.

mod is the most repetitive number of a number string, and outlier does not change it.

the mode remains the same.

The first thing to remember is that when you have a zero of 3i, you will also have a zero of -3i. This is because of the way imaginary solutions are created (taking the square root of a negative number). When you take the sqrt you get TWO answers.
The factors for these zeros are (x - 3i)(x+3i)(x+2)(x-1)
When you multiply the factors, the polynomial will be:
x^4 + x^3 + 7x^2 + 9x - 18
