The amount of eggs each of the fifteen preschool children gathered. Here is the data: 12, 9, 11, 10, 4, 14, 12, 10, 13, 12, 11, 13, 12, 9, and 10

Is there an outlier in this data? If yes, what is the outlier?

yes, the outlier is 4.

Explanation:

an outlier is a piece of data that is abnormally high or low compared to the average range. in this case, most of the data sets lie from 9 to 12, with 13 and 14 being small exceptions that are not too far from the highest number within the range. however, 4 is much lower than 9, which makes it an outlier.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
