Question

The low temperatures for the week in Carrollton, in degrees Fahrenheit (°F), were 17, 41, 11, 14, 11, 13, and 15. What is the mean of the temperatures without the outlier?

Answer 1

The mean of the temperatures is 13.5 without the outlier.

Explanation:

To find the mean, you add all of the numbers in your data set and divide that by how many numbers you added.

Before we do this, we must first identify the outlier and remove it from our calculations since it is asking us to find the mean without it. 41 is the outlier because it is a considerably larger number than the other numbers in the data set.

Equations: 11 + 11 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 17 = 81

81 ÷ 6 = 13.5
