Suppose you take a random sample of 10 juniors who bought the same model laptop when they were freshmen. You test these 10 laptops to determine how long their batteries last before needing to be recharged, and you obtain the following data (in hours): 1.2, 1.3, 3.8, 3.9, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3. What should be done with the values 1.2 and 1.3? Which of the following is the best course of action?
Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer.
a
Delete them from the data set since they are outliers.
b
Keep them in the data set even though they are outliers.
