Answer:

1.The mean is the average of the numbers. It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are. In other words it is the sum divided by the count.

2.The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers and can be more descriptive of that data set than the average. ... If there is an odd amount of numbers, the median value is the number that is in the middle, with the same amount of numbers below and above.

3.There are no outliers. Explanation: An observation is an outlier if it falls more than above the upper quartile or more than below the lower quartile.

4.20. The "average" you're talking about is actually called the "mean". It's not exactly answering your question, but a different statistic which is not affected by outliers is the median, that is, the middle number. {90,89,92,91,5} mean: 73.4 {90,89,92,91,5} median: 90.
