Question

Study the following stem-and-leaf plot and find the outlier.

• A. $64$
• B. $52$
• C. $86$
• D. $13$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $13$

An outlier is a data value that is numerically distant from the data set, or it is a value that is very different from the rest of the values in the data set.
Using the key, we know the data set is $13,52,64,72,86.$
All the values are close to each other except one value. The value that is numerically distant from the data set is $13.$
