SOLUTION:
Case: Outliers in a data set
Given: A set of numbers:
117, 211, 186, 176, 372, 7, 51, 229, 222, 83, 129, 142, 197, 102.
Required:
A) Identify the outliers
B) Mean with outliers
C) Median with outliers
D) Mode with outliers
E) Mean without outliers
F) Median without outliers
G) Mode without outliers
Final Answers
A) The outliers
First we arrange the data:
7, 51, 83, 102, 117, 129, 142, 176, 186, 197, 211, 222, 229, 372
Now we select the outliers
Because of the space in the data, the suspected outliers are:
7
because it is far from the central values
B)
The mean with outliers
C)
Median with outlier
Median = (142+176)/2
Median= 159
D) Mode with outlier
This data has no mode
E) Mean without outlier
51, 83,102, 117, 129, 142, 176, 186, 197, 211, 222, 229, 372
F) Median without outlier
Median = 176
G) Mode without outlier
The data has no mode
