Check each of the components below that you included in your response.

A
The standard deviation will decrease when the outlier is removed.
B
Standard deviation represents the spread of data from the mean.
C
Removing a high-value outlier decreases the spread of data from the mean.
D
Removing a low-value outlier decreases the spread of data from the mean.
E
In both cases the standard deviation decreases.

Which of the following represents the numerator in the calculation of variance and standard deviation?

A
(225)2 + (–425)2 + (–275)2 + (325)2 + (75)2 + (–75)2 = 423,750
B
(650)2 + (–150)2 + (–600)2 + (250)2 + (150)2 + (–300)2 = 980,000
C
(250)2 + (–400)2 + (–250)2 + (350)2 + (100)2 + (–50)2 = 420,000
