Q. Select the outlier in the data set.\newline9,36,38,39,40,42,43,45,529, 36, 38, 39, 40, 42, 43, 45, 52
  1. Identify Data Set: Step 11: Identify the data set and look for numbers that seem unusually high or low compared to the others.\newlineData set: 9,36,38,39,40,42,43,45,529, 36, 38, 39, 40, 42, 43, 45, 52
  2. Calculate Range and Median: Step 22: Calculate the range and median to better understand the spread of the data.\newlineRange = Maximum value - Minimum value\newlineRange = 529=4352 - 9 = 43\newlineMedian (middle value when data is ordered) = 4040
  3. Compare to Median and Range: Step 33: Compare each number to the median and the range to see which number stands out.\newline- 99 is significantly lower than the median (4040) and is far from the closest number (3636).\newline- All other numbers are relatively close to each other and the median.
  4. Conclude Outlier: Step 44: Conclude which number is the outlier based on the comparison.\newline- 99 is the outlier as it is significantly different and distant from the rest of the numbers in the set.
