Question

The following data represents the marks scored by Mathew in different subjects.


What will be the outlier and its mode without outlier?

• A. $29;11$
• B. $11;28$
• C. $11;26$
• D. $28;29$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $11;28$

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 $11$.

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 $28$.

Since the outlier is $11$, therefore data without outlier is as follows


$28$ is occuring maximum number of times. Hence, mode without outlier $28$.
