Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: B

Answer 2

22.6 is an outlier for the second data set. The reason for this is that 22.6 is nowhere near the rest of the data points. Outliers are numbers that are either a lot bigger or a lot smaller than the rest of the other numbers in the set. In this case, 22.6 is a lot bigger.
