Question

The data shows the height in inches of students in Ms. Williams math class. Identify the outlier. 40, 37, 39, 40, 42, 38, 38, 37, 28, 40

Answer 1

the answer would be 28

Explanation:

first lets order them from greatest to least:

42, 40, 40, 40, 39, 38, 38, 37, 37, 28

now that we have these we can see that the biggest jump in difference is between 37 and 28 which is 9 numbers away from each other, every other number is filled with gaps of 2 or 1 so 9 is definitely a big jump. that is the outlier

pls at least thanks if you found it helpful
