Loren’s friends jump as far as they can and record their results in inches. Their results include the observations 42, 47, 50, 42, 45, 41, 49, 51, and 44. Which number, if added to the dataset, would represent an outlier in the data?(1 point)

The outlier in a dataset is typically a number that is significantly higher or lower than the other numbers in the set. In this case, the numbers given are 42, 47, 50, 42, 45, 41, 49, 51, and 44.

If we were to add the number 100 to the dataset, it would represent an outlier as it is much higher than the other numbers in the set.
