Given the following values, which number would be considered an outlier?
0.9, 2.1, 3.2, 3.9, 7.4, 5.8, 7.2, 8, 9.1
2.1
9.1
8
7.4

I'm not sure because I was taught that an outlier is either too high or too low so it doesn't fit in the data.
Well because if you notice that 0.9 is close to 1, and 2.1 is close to 2, 3.2 is close to 3, 3.9 is close to 4, but 7.4 is not close to 5, and 5.8 is close to 6, 7.2 is close to 7, 8 is close to 8, and 9.1 is close to 9. Do you see the pattern? 7.4 is the outlier.
so..its 7.4?
D is 5, 7.4 is right
Its D guys
Weird... I got it wrong. The right answer was 7.4 O.O
Does anybody understand why? I don't.
