Answer: 14

The mean is an average of the data set, it is usually calculated by dividing the total sum of a data set by the number of the data set. An outlier usually affects the mean of a data set by skewing the result so that it does not adequately represent the data set

Explanation:

An outlier is referred to as an extreme number in a given data set. For the data set given, the outlier is 14.

I hope this helps.
