Euthanasia is an act of compassion by someone who sympathises with the cronically sick. Some very unwell persons in great physical or mental pain plead for a quick and peacefull conclusion of their life. Should we be deaf to their pleas and therefore give them no choice to end the suffering.
Correct answer: A. Step 1: An outlier is an element of a data set that distinctly stands out from the rest of the data. Step 2: In the given data set, 403 is far apart from the remaining data values. Step 3: So, the outlier of the data set is 403.
The median of these numbers is 3.5 (halfway between 3 and 4) The mean of these numbers, however, is 4.6, which is greater than the median (because of the huge outlier). Since 21 is obviously an outlier, let's remove it. The median moves from 3.5 to 3. The mean moves from 4.6 to 2.78, which is a big decrease.
