Removing an Outlier

Outliers can have an interesting impact on our calculations for the measure of center. Oftentimes, outliers are "flukes", "mistakes", or come about by pure luck. We don't want those types of situations to have an impact on our measures of center, so we remove them!

In this video, it is determined by visual inspection that there is an outlier in the data set. Watch what happens to the calculations for the measure of center when the outlier is removed.
