Q. Select the outlier in the data set.\newline9,73,77,79,81,90,94,989, 73, 77, 79, 81, 90, 94, 98
  1. Identify data set: Identify the data set and understand what an outlier is.\newlineAn outlier is a data point that is significantly different from the rest of the data. It can be much higher or much lower than the other values in the set.\newlineData set: 9,73,77,79,81,90,94,989, 73, 77, 79, 81, 90, 94, 98
  2. Spot outlier: Look at the data set and try to spot any value that seems significantly different from the rest.\newlineBy inspection, the number 99 stands out as being much lower than all other values in the set.
  3. Confirm outlier: To confirm the outlier, we can calculate the mean and standard deviation of the data set and see if the suspected outlier falls far from the mean compared to the other data points. However, in this case, since the outlier is obvious by inspection, we can conclude that 99 is the outlier without further calculations.
