Answer 2

Answer: c) The number 75 is an outlier on the stem and leaf plot.

Explanation:

• An outlier is a value in data which is extremely large or small from all the values. It appears detached from the other values in data.

When we look in the given stem-leaf plot, there is no leaf attached to the stem with value 6.

It mean there is no value between 50 and 75.

It shows that the value of 75 is detached from the other values in the data.

⇒ The number 75 is an outlier on the stem and leaf plot.
