An anomaly is an outlier in experimental data that doesn't fit the general trend, distinguishable through statistical analysis such as calculating standard deviation.
An anomaly is a value in experimental measurements that deviates significantly from the expected pattern due to factors other than random uncertainty, and it can be identified using statistical methods like standard deviation.
