    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that The data to represent average test scores for a class of 16 students includes an outlier value of 78.

    We can find sum of all 16 test scores = 84 (16) = 1344

    Outlier found = 78

    If outlier is removed new sum = 1344-78 = 1266

    Number of entries without outlier = 15

    New average = 1266/12 = 84.4

    We find that average of new data increases.

    Also whenever we remove outlier std deviation also would be reduced.
