Answer: C. There is a large outlier

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the mean value of a data set tells the average value of the data values whereas the median value separates the higher half from the lower half of a data set.

  • If mean is equal to median then there is no outlier in the data set .
  • If Mean is less than Median then there is a small outlier in the data set.
  • If Mean is greater than Median then there is a large outlier in the data set.

Here Given : mean = 10  

mode = 4  

median = 5

Mean > Median

Therefore, there must be a large outlier in the data set.
