HELPPPPP!!! The data shows the weights of babies, in ounces, born at a local hospital in the month of January. 112, 118, 120, 67, 128, 119, 121, 124, 126.

By how many ounces will the mean weight increase if the outlier is removed from the data set?

Answer:

6

Explanation:

The outlier is 67.

The mean with the outlier is: 115

(112+ 118 + 120 +67 + 128 + 119 + 121 + 124 + 126) ÷ 9

The mean without he outlier is: 121

(112+ 118 + 120 + 128 + 119 + 121 + 124 + 126) ÷ 8

So, 121 - 115 = 6
