Re(1): #537 - Statistics: How do you handle 'outliers'?

Tiger , isn't this the same thing:

Lets say you are tracking a players batting average for the year.

this are his first 7 games:

0-3
1-3
0-5
3-5
0-4
0-4
2-5

now in his 8th game, he goes 0-9 in an 18 inning game --OR--Goes 7-9 in that same game. Do you count that...Of course you do....Outliers are part of the average I believe, but I could be wrong. I guess that is what makes up an AVERAGE.
