Solution

The correct option is B no
The outlier is the value which is quite different from the rest of the data values in the given data set.

For the given data set, the outlier is 75.

The mode is that value which occurs most frequently in the data set.

Arrange the given data in ascending order to observe the mode.


Thus, the mode of the given data with outlier is 60.

Since the outlier is 75, therefore data without outlier is as follows


60 is occuring maximum number of times. Therefore, mode remains as 60

Hence, the outlier of the given data does not change its mode.
