Outlier Detection in Power BI

The video tutorial introduces Power BI visuals, focusing on box plots for data analysis. It explains outliers, their causes, and their impact on data analysis and machine learning. The tutorial covers methods to identify and handle outliers, including using box plots and calculating outliers with interquartile range. It concludes with a brief on further learning topics like data wrangling.

What is the main topic discussed in the video?

• Data cleaning methods

• Outliers and their detection in Power BI

• Machine learning algorithms

• Data visualization techniques

Which chart is used in Power BI for detecting outliers?

• Pie chart

• Box plot

• Line chart

• Bar chart

What is an outlier?

• A data point that is always incorrect

• A data point that is similar to others

• A data point that is different from other similar points

• A data point that is always correct

Which of the following is NOT a cause of outliers?

• Measurement errors

• Consistent data patterns

• Data entry errors

• Natural causes

How do outliers affect the average of a dataset?

• They can either increase or decrease the average

• They decrease the average

• They have no effect

• They increase the average

What type of outlier does not impact the result?

• An outlier that is a result of measurement error

• An outlier that is a result of data entry error

• An outlier that is far from the data

• An outlier that is in line with the data

What is one method to handle outliers?

• Consider them as errors

• Analyze them separately

• Ignore them

• Always remove them

What does the bold line in the middle of a box plot represent?

• The range

• The mean

• The mode

• The median

How is the interquartile range calculated?

• Difference between the maximum and minimum

• Sum of the first and third quartile

• Difference between the first and third quartile

• Average of the first and third quartile

What is the purpose of calculating quartiles in outlier detection?

• To find the mean

• To identify the range

• To detect outliers

• To determine the spread of the data
