Answer 1

Well which of those numbers is either a lot higher or a lot lower than the rest? In this case 90 is a lot higher than the rest of the numbers, making it an outlier

Answer 2

Answer: 90

Explanation:

An outlier of a data set is a data value which is different from all the values in the data set.

The given data set : {40, 35, 44, 90, 23, 25, 28, 35}

Here we can see 90 is the data value which is different from others as it is a much bigger number than others, thus 90 is considered as the outlier.
