Are any of the observations outliers? Explain.
O A. The histogram shows that there are no outliers. The conditions for inference are satisfied.
O B. The histogram shows that there is one extreme outlier. Since the sample size is large enough, the conditions for inference are okay.
O c. The histogram shows two extreme outliers. With these values included, the conditions for inference are violated.
b) The previous mean amount of time spent using the lab computer was 54 minutes. Find a 90% confidence…

San Luis Obispo County supervisors are supposed to be paid the average of the two counties among these six in the middle of the salary range. (a) Which measure of center determines this salary? medianmean What is its value? (Enter your answer as a whole number.)$ (b) Why is the other measure of center featured in this section not as favorable to these supervisors (although it might appeal to taxpayers)? Since the median salary is smaller, the median salary is less favorable to the supervisors.Since the mean salary is smaller, the mean salary is less favorable to the supervisors.arrow_forward
