Answer:

Outliers have great effect on the mean and standard deviation of the data set

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean =(43+37+50+51+58+52+45+45+58+130)/10

Mean= 579/10

Mean = 57.9

Arranging in ascending order

= 37,43,45,45,50,51,52,58,58,130

Median= (50+51)/2

Median= 101/2

Median= 50.5

IQR= (130-37)/2

IQR= 93/2

IQR= 46.5

Standard deviation

=√(((37-57.9)²+(43-57.9)²+(45-57.9)²+(45-57.9)²+(50-57.9)²+(51-57.9)²+(52-57.9)²+(58-57.9)²+(58-57.9)²+(130-57.9)²)/10)

Standard deviation= 25.1

1.5*(46.5)= 69.75

The number more than 69.75 is 130 and it's the outlier

Without outlier

Mean= (43+37+50+51+58+52+45+45+58)/9

Mean = 449/9

Mean = 49.88

Arranging in ascending order

= 37,43,45,45,50,51,52,58,58

Median= 50

IQR= (58-37)/2

IQR=21/2

IQR=10.5

Standard deviation
