See the method: Data Cleaning and Outliers (Foundation)

A nurse records the weights (kg) of 8 patients: 62, 65, 71, 68, 640, 70, 66, 69. (a) Identify the outlier. (b) Suggest a likely explanation. (c) Calculate the mean weight with the outlier removed.

  1. Compare each value with the rest: 640 kg is far larger than all the other weights (62 to 71 kg), so 640 is the outlier.
  2. A likely explanation is a data entry error, for example the decimal point was missed and the true value was 64.0 kg.
  3. Remove the outlier, leaving 7 values: 62, 65, 71, 68, 70, 66, 69.
  4. Sum the remaining values: 62 + 65 + 71 + 68 + 70 + 66 + 69 = 471.
  5. Divide by the number of values: 471 divided by 7 = 67.285714...
  6. Final answer: the outlier is 640 kg, likely a data entry error, and the mean weight of the remaining 7 patients is 67.3 kg (1 dp).
