Question

What are the coordinates for the outlier in the data?

( , )



x 9 11 7 10 9 9 13 8 12
y 32 36 35 37 40 39 2 34 33

Answer 1

An outlier is something in the data that is especially and abnormally different from the rest of the data.

So you can see in the y-values that all of them are in the thirties/forties except one of them, the 2.

Therefore 2 is the outlier there, and therefore the coordinates for the outlier are (13, 2)
