Question

emma made a plot

1 circles on 1
2 circles on 4
4 circles on 5
6 circles on 6
3 circles on 7
4 circles on 8
and one circle on9
which number is the outlier

Answer 1

To find the outlier among the given data points, we can look at the number of circles plotted on each number:

- 1 circle on 1
- 2 circles on 4
- 4 circles on 5
- 6 circles on 6
- 3 circles on 7
- 4 circles on 8
- 1 circle on 9

Now, let's summarize the circles count:

- 1: 1 circle
- 2: 0 circles
- 3: 0 circles
- 4: 2 circles
- 5: 4 circles
- 6: 6 circles
- 7: 3 circles
- 8: 4 circles
- 9: 1 circle

Looking at the distribution, the count of circles varies, but the number "6 circles on 6" stands out as being significantly higher than the other numbers. Most of the other counts are below 4 or equal to it.

So, the number "6" with "6 circles" can be considered the outlier, as it is much higher than the other counts.
