Statistics

• Outliers - numbers that are way extreme in the data set norm that don't fit anywhere close to the other value sets.

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

A - 187, 298, 239, 1, 984, 202, 191

B - 5, 3, 8, 6, 3, 6, 1, 2, 0

C - 15, 19, 21, 16, 25, 13, 17, 56, 1, 5, 72, 67, 59, 74, 60

D - 88, 7, 32, 31, 34, 39, 34, 35, 33

Step 2: Identify Outliers

A - 187, 298, 239, 1, 984, 202, 191 (Way too extreme)

B - 5, 3, 8, 6, 3, 6, 1, 2, 0 (None)

C - 15, 19, 21, 16, 25, 13, 17, 56, 1, 5, 72, 67, 59, 74, 60 (Extreme - other digits are double digits)

D - 88, 7, 32, 31, 34, 39, 34, 35, 33 (Way too extreme)

∴ Our answers are A, C, and D.
