Name	Number of Cups
Pixie	1
Pootle	2
Dane	3
Django	2
Hermann	3
Alex	8

What is the mean, median and mode of the number of cups of hot chocolate consumed(without Outlier)?

• A. Median $=3.17$
  Mean $=2.5$
  Mode $=2$ and $3$
• B. Mean $=3.17$
  Median $=2.5$
  Mode $=2$ and $3$
• C. Mean $=2.2$
  Median $=2.5$
  Mode $=2$ and $3$
• D. Mean $=2.2$
  Median $=2$
  Mode $=2$ and $3$

Answer 1

The correct option is D Mean $=2.2$

Median $=2$
Mode $=2$ and $3$
From the data given in the table, we can see that Alex is the Outlier.
If we exclude Alex from the data, the table would look like:

Name	Number of Cups
Pixie	1
Pootle	2
Dane	3
Django	2
Hermann	3

Mean of the data(without Outlier Alex) $=\frac{1+2+3+2+3}{5}=\frac{11}{5}$
Mean of the data(without Outlier Alex) $=2.2$

Median of the data(without Outlier Alex) $=2$

Mode of the data(without Outlier Alex) $=2$ and $3$
