  • Any value of the variable with Z score less than -3.0, or greater than +3.0 is classified as outliers. Check whether the minimum and maximum are outliers.

The z score of the minimum: Click or tap here to enter text.

The z score of the maximum: Click or tap here to enter text.

Any outliers and explanation: Click or tap here to enter text.

 

Hint:

The formula for calculation of z score is as following:

μ: population mean

σ: population standard deviation

To answer this question, you can use the sample mean to replace the population mean, and sample standard deviation to replace population standard deviation when you calculate the z value.
