Respuesta :

An outlier number is the number that's completely different from the rest.
For example;
1, 15, 17, 16, 14.
"1" is the outlier.

Our list of numbers range (on average) from 7-12.

Let's look at our answer choices.

A.) There is one outlier that indicates an unusually large number of players on that team.

This is true, as we have 21, the one and only outlier in our list.

Your answer is A.)

I hope this helps!
