To help you find the means, you’ll first need to identify the outlier in your data set. Once you establish which number is the outlier, you can calculate the mean both without and with that outlier included.
1. Mean without the outlier:
– Remove the outlier from your data set.
– Add up all the remaining values.
– Divide this sum by the total number of values left.
2. Mean with the outlier:
– Include the outlier in your data set.
– Again, add all the values together.
– Divide this total by the full number of values, including the outlier.
If you provide the actual data set, I could walk you through this calculation step-by-step!
