An anomaly and an outlier are related concepts, but they are not the same. An outlier is a data point that significantly differs from other observations in a dataset, often due to variability or measurement error. An anomaly, on the other hand, refers to an unexpected pattern or occurrence that may indicate a significant deviation from the norm and could suggest a novel or important finding. While all anomalies can be considered outliers, not all outliers are necessarily anomalies.
No.
By definition, an outlier will not have the same value as other data points in the dataset. So, the correct question is "What is the effect of an outlier on a dataset's mean." The answer is that the outlier moves the mean away from the value of the other 49 identical values. If the outlier is the "high tail" the mean is moved to a higher value. If the outlier is a "low tail" the mean is moved to a lower value.
Depends on whether the outlier was too small or too large. If the outlier was too small, the mean without the outlier would be larger. Conversely, if the outlier was too large, the mean without the outlier would be smaller.
To determine how much an outlier decreases the answer, you need to compare the statistical measure before and after including the outlier. For example, if the mean of a dataset is 50 without the outlier and drops to 40 with the outlier included, the outlier decreases the answer by 10. The specific impact of an outlier can vary significantly depending on its value relative to the rest of the data.
Calculate the mean, median, and range with the outlier, and then again without the outlier. Then find the difference. Mode will be unaffected by an outlier.
In statistics, the name for that is "outlier". Another possible word is "anomaly".
No.
The word for something that is surprising or unexpected is "anomaly." An anomaly refers to an event or occurrence that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected, often catching people off guard. Other synonyms include "outlier," "aberration," or "irregularity."

No, median is not an outlier.
0s are not the outlier values

An outlier on a stemplot is a data point that significantly deviates from the other values in the dataset, appearing either much higher or much lower than the rest. It can be identified as a stem-and-leaf entry that is isolated from the majority of the data points, indicating a potential anomaly or variation. Outliers can influence statistical analyses and visualizations, so they are often examined to understand their cause and impact.
Anomaly is a noun.

No. A single observation can never be an outlier.
Calculate the mean, median, and range with the outlier, and then again without the outlier. Then find the difference. Mode will be unaffected by an outlier.
