1. Explain why the mean is not representative
The sales in 2014 is much higher than the sales in the other years. This outlier will increase the mean, so the mean will not represent the typical sales at the mall well.
Answer
The 2014 sales value is much higher than the other years, so it is an outlier. It would pull the mean upwards, making the mean not representative of the typical sales.
