12. | Critical Thinking: Outliers One indicator of an outlier is that an observa- tion is more than 2.5 standard deviations from the mean. Consider the data value 80. (a) If a data set has mean 70 and standard deviation 5, is 80 a suspect out- lier? (b) If a data set has mean 70 and standard deviation 3, is 80 a suspect outlier?

Please answer number 12. Make sure to show work!! Answer quickly, thx!
### 12. Critical Thinking: Outliers
One indicator of an outlier is that an observation is more than 2.5 standard deviations from the mean. Consider the data value 80.
 
(a) If a data set has mean 70 and standard deviation 5, is 80 a suspect outlier?
 
(b) If a data set has mean 70 and standard deviation 3, is 80 a suspect outlier?

### 13. Basic Computation: Variance, Standard Deviation
Given the sample data:

\[ x: \quad 23 \quad 17 \quad 15 \quad 30 \quad 25 \]
 
(a) Find the range.
 
(b) Verify that \(\sum x = 110\) and \(\sum x^2 = 2568\).
 
(c) Use the results of part (b) and appropriate computation formulas to compute the sample variance \( s^2 \) and sample standard deviation \( s \).
 
(d) Use the defining formulas to compute the sample variance \( s^2 \) and sample standard deviation \( s \).
 
(e) Suppose the given data comprise the entire population of all \( x \) values. Compute the population variance \( \sigma^2 \) and population standard deviation \( \sigma \).
