The above data consists of two outliers 234 and 302, due to which the A.M. is greatly affected. Treating outliers as one group and remaining observations as second group compute the following:
i. arithmetic mean of individual groups and combined group
ii. standard deviations of individual groups and combined standard deviation of both groups, also interpret your answer
