As someone who has conducted a serious of research involving cases of outliers, it is hugely important to understand what they mean and how they can effect our conclusions. I feel that this infographic would be helpful in doing so, and good job.

I loved the theme of this infographic! Thorough and detailed about the importance of outliers, this brought a lot of attention to something that I believe a lot of people brush aside, but could actually be very crucial to scientific or academic studies! I loved the color usage, the implementation of related icons really helped bring the entire composition of the infographic together! Great job and congratulations on your nomination.

This is so interesting to think about. Im currently in a political research class and it is a little crazy to me how there is a 5% chance that some of this data will be mistaken with their methods. For political decisions I think that is insane especially with the outlier factor there is still so much room for mistakes when researching political affiliations and political interest.
