Calculating Outliers Lesson

​Outliers	​Clusters
​An outlier is a data point in a scatter plot that does not follow the trend of the data.	A group of data points that are closely grouped together.​

What is an outlier?

• An outlier is a point on the graph that is outside of the range of data

• You can think of it in terms of kids. The teacher gives everyone in class bonus points and cookies and everyone is happy except for one or two students. Those students would be the outlier(s)

Outlier

A data value that is much lower or much greater than all of the other values in a data set.

Outlier #1

Notice how the point at (30, 6000) is an outlier and does not fit with the data

Not an Outlier

This is NOT an Outlier because it falls on the TREND LINE or Line of BEST FIT.

Note: the line of best fit is a line that goes through the middle of the points
