How do you decide which feats are outliers?

[Adamjensen2030]

For example Usian Bolt is going for 10 running races aka 100m sprints.

1st race: 10 seconds

2nd race: 9.6 seconds

3rd race: 9.2 seconds

4th race: 9.7 seconds

5th race: 9.56 seconds

6th race: 9.44 seconds

7th race: 8.99 seconds

8th race: 10.11 seconds

9th race: 9.12 seconds

10th race: 9.5 seconds


'Is there a calculator or link to a specific page that can help you decide which feats to disregard as outliers?

Thanks for reading.

You're talking about mathematical outliers, in which case any one of these methods. As for how we decide outliers feat-wise? Totally subjective and arbitrary.

LordXcano is regrettably correct. We do not have any set standard methods for determining outliers. It depends on the people who are evaluating a certain thread.

Common sense, logic, understanding of the Verse and context of the scene / feat.

LordXcano:

I'm talking about the type of outliers between 8.99 seconds to 10.11 seconds. Assuming that the total amount of time he took to run 1km with 95.22 seconds we divide it by the number of races he ran. The answer we get is 9.522 seconds. The closest median is the 10th race which is 9.5 seconds. Also What I mean was how to choose which race times to disregard for the sake of consistency.

I don't think any of these would be outliers, given how consistent and close the numbers are.

Thanks for the information. I appreciate it.

I will close this thread then.
