Answer:

44, definition below

Explanation:

  1. An outlier is a number that is much larger or smaller than the general populous of numbers. For example, if there was a dot plot with dots clustered at 2, 3, and 5, but there was one or two dots around 10, then 10 would be considered an outlier.
  2. I would consider 44 to be an outlier in the number set.

If I am incorrect in my reasoning, please let me know so that I can plan better for my future answers. Have an amazing day.
