There is an anomalous result for student R. Identify the anomalous result in Table 1.
How to approach this question
An anomalous result is one that does not fit the pattern of the other results. Look at the five results for Student R: 367, 352, 350, 359, 635. Identify the value that is very different from the others.
Full Answer
635
The results for Student R are 367, 352, 350, 359, and 635. The first four results are all clustered between 350 and 367. The fifth result, 635, is significantly higher than the others and does not follow the pattern. Therefore, 635 is the anomalous result. This could have been caused by a lapse in concentration or a distraction.
