You are!

Actually not. This is not a text about you.

But, as Gladwell puts it in Outliers, if you find yourself being that type of outlier, you’re quite lucky. And rare.

What is actually an outlier?

According to Meriam-Webster, an outlier is:

“a statistical observation that is markedly different in value from the others of the sample”

But you’re not here for that, are you?

Let’s simply explain when a data point is considered an outlier, why that might happen, and what you can do about it.
