Question

The table shows the approximate number of minutes of physical exercise each student in Noah’s class gets per day. Identify any outliers in the data set and explain how they affect the data.

I need an explanation please.

Answer 1

120 and 180 have outliners

Explanation:

Answer 2

120 and 180 minutes have outliers

Explanation:

An outlier is a point of data in a data set that is far out from the median in the data set. In this case, almost all of the data points are from 0 minutes of exercise to 60 minutes, except for two that are more than double that.

It could "skew" the data, as if you were to calculate the mean (average), it would be shifted slightly higher by these two outliers.

Hope this helps!
