oulier means something that sticks out in math, like in the number 50, 51, 53, 54, & 100... 100 is the outlier
When looking at data most of the data seem to be very close. One may be either extremely high or low. This is an outlier.
the mean is affected by outliers
Mean.
just cuz
Yes.
there are no limits to outliers there are no limits to outliers
Outliers pull the mean in the direction of the outlier.
The mean is better than the median when there are outliers.
mean
Mean- If there are no outliers. A really low number or really high number will mess up the mean. Median- If there are outliers. The outliers will not mess up the median. Mode- If the most of one number is centrally located in the data. :)
They are observations with a low likelihood of occurrence. They may be called outliers but there is no agreed definition for outliers.
When the distribution has outliers. They will skew the mean but will not affect the median.
You will notice a difference in the data if you have outliers. The mean of a set is going to be heavily influenced by outliers due to the mean being dependant on the quantity of each unit (i.e. 2 cats, 7 cats, 300 cats, etc.) The median, however, is not influenced by outliers because it accounts for the number of units rather than the quantity associated with the units.
