Interpreting Clusters and Outliers — Quiz

Question 4 • Mathematics 8

The table shows the final score of the winning hockey team compared to the total number of goals that either team attempted during the game. Each row represents a single hockey game. Which value is an outlier in the table?

Answer
A
open paren 29 comma 4 close paren
B
open paren 22 comma 11 close paren
C
open paren 12 comma 2 close paren
D
open paren 13 comma 1 close paren

Explanation

The point (22, 11) is far from the pattern formed by the other values: those have winning scores of 1, 2, or 4, while this one has a score of 11. So (22, 11) is the outlier.
