How would an outlier affect the confidence interval for a mean?
- It would make the interval narrower
- It would make the interval skewed
- It would make the interval wider
- It would not affect the interval
An outlier can significantly affect the mean and increase the variability in the data, which would lead to a larger standard error and thus a wider confidence interval.
