Answer 1

I think the answer is there is one outlier that indicates an unusually large number of cars were in the parking lot that day.

Answer 2

Option C.

Explanation:

The given data set shows the number of cars parked in the restaurant parking lot during the lunch hour each day for two weeks.

8, 7, 14, 10, 13, 27, 11, 10, 14, 7 12, 9, 14, 9
