Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An outlier is a value that is significantly higher or lower than the others in the dataset. In this case, the stemplot has no numbers that are significantly higher or lower than the others except for 75, which is the only value in the 70's range. Therefore, the answer is C. It is not B because even though 29 is a lower value, it is not significantly different from the other values in the 20's range. The answer is not A because this description does not address the presence or absence of outliers. The answer is not D because there is no outlier at the 60 value.
