Question

Box plot pls answer what is the outlier and a box plot represents the data excluding the outlier

Answer 1

Answer: The outlier is $95 and the plot is D.

Explanation:

An outlier is the data value that's much larger or much smaller than the other data values. Here, that is $95.

Excluding this value, our smallest is $15 and the largest is $60. We plot a dot at both of these points.

The middle dot is the median. To find this, we will arrange the values in order and find the middle value. (We are excluding $95.) After doing this process, we see the middle dot is at 39.

$15, $20, $38, $60, $45, $40, $35, $50

$15, $20, $35, $38, $40, $45, $50, $60

----, ----, ----, $38, $40, ----, ----, ----

`38 + 40 = 78, \;\;78 / 2\;\;\boxed{= 39}`

This means we have dots at 15, 39 and 60, leading us to answer D.
