If we have a dataset that follows normal distribution than we can use 3 or more standard deviation to spot outliers in the dataset. Many times these are legitimate values and it really depends on the situation if you want to remove them or not. But removing outliers can significantly increase the statistical power of machine learning model hence it is recommended that you treat outliers before building a model. Z score indicates how many standard deviation away a given sample is. We are going to go through all this theory and write python code to remove outliers from heights dataset that I have taken it from kaggle.
