Students in a statistics class at a large state university were given a survey in which one question asked was age (in years); one student was a retired person, and her age was an "outlier". What does an "outlier" mean? If student height is measured, would this same retired person necessarily have a value that was an "outlier"
Please help answer the following questions - provide at least 300 words. 1) What are the reasons for studying statistics? 2) Select five random numbers between 70-100.

The preliminary survey results just came back on the specialty catalog project, and they look great! The average planned order size was $53.94, well above the $15 that was hoped for. The group leader will probably be delighted-- after all, $53.94 for each of the 1,300,000 target addresses comes out to over $70 million in avera
