Hello!

Answer:


\boxed{ \bf The~outlier~in~the~data~set~is~74.}

__________________________________________________

Explanation:

An outlier is basically a number that is much greater or smaller than the rest of the numbers in the data set. In this case, all of the numbers are twenty-something, except for 74. There is a huge difference between 74 and these numbers.
