Effect of outliers

Some outliers need to be removed from a data set. This is typically a judgement call.

Outliers have an effect on all measures of central tendency.

  1. Good job Cathlene. I like how you used different colours for the words mean, median, mode, range, and outlier. If you had to improve on something I think you would have to make the font bigger for the text after "Effect of Outliers".(:

  2. Great job Cathlene. I loved the use of colour. But some of your font was a little small. Thanks for the reminder of the homework. (:

  10. Good job Cathlene :) I liked your colours although your font was a bit small. Instead of putting the link, you should've just posted the video here. Other than that.. nice post!

  13. Great job Cathlene. Your post was very good and easy to read. It was very colourful and I liked how you gave the measures of central tendency each a specific colour. However, you could have put in a picture showing how you found the answers, and you could have embedded the video. Still, good job. =)
