Can we safely conclude that this is the actual mean from the data set? Why or why not?
A. Yes, because mean is not affected by outliers.
O B. Yes, because the esimated mean from a frequency distribution and the actual mean from a data set are always identical.
C. No, because there are one or more outliers.
O D. No, because we do not know the actual data values. We can only use the class midpoints.
