Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"Outliers, by Malcolm Gladwell, is subtitled "the story of success." It is a book that purports to explain why some people succeed far more than others. It suggests that a success like Bill Gates is more attributable to external factors than anything within the man. Even his birth date turns out to play a role of profound importance in the success of Bill Gates and Microsoft Corporation."

Answer 2

Answer:

"Outliers" are values that "lie outside" the other values. I have placed a diagram IN the attachment. Check it out...

Real life example:

Imagine a group of students of your school- Augustus, June, Carol, Bob and Sam. Now, these people can jump 0 m.

A new coach has been working with the Long Jump team this month, and the athletes' performance has changed.

Augustus can now jump 0.15m further, June and Carol can jump 0.06m further.

Here are all the results:

Augustus: +0.15m

Tom: +0.11m

June: +0.06m

Carol: +0.06m

Bob: + 0.12m

Sam: -0.56m

Here, Sam's performance is an Outlier.
