    Hi! This infographic was so interesting and new to me! I had never known how serious outliers are, before today. This is crucial to many different studies. I love how much information and detail you provided in this infographic. This topic should be talked about more because I feel like people do not think about often. Great infographic layout! Congratulations on being nominated

    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.

    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.

    A good infographic that is jam-packed with information regarding an important topic when we study statistics and other quantitative measures. 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.
