What do outliers, mean, median, mode, and range tell you show

Hello there!

Outlier is a value in a data set that varies significantly from the rest of the data.

Example: Way too low: 1, 45, 58, 60, 63, 75

Outlier = 1

Way too high: 4, 3, 2, 21, 7

The number should be the order from least to greatest are: 2, 3, 4, 7, 21.

Outlier = 21

It impact the mean and the median in different ways.

Data with no outlier: 4, 5, 7, 11, 12, 15

54÷6=9

Mean = 9

Data with an outlier: 4, 5, 7, 11, 12, 15, 58

112÷7=16

Mean = 16

Median is the middle value in an ordered list of numbers.

Example:

Numbers already in order:

1, 5, 8, 10, 13

Numbers not already in order:

13, 1, 5, 10, 8

1, 5, 8, 10, 13, 15

8+10=18 or 18÷2=9

Median =9

Range is a difference between the maximum (highest) and minimum (lowest) values. It has one type of measure of spread.

Example:

Data in order: 23, 27, 39, 53, 62, 84

84-23=61

Data not in order: 272, 52, 67, 201, 43, 256

272-43=229
