Explanation / Answer

Here, the number 8 is very different from the rest of the data. It is an outlier and must be removed.

Thus, the new data set does not contain 8. Thus there are 9 values left.

Minimum = 7281

First quartile = Median of first 4 data values = (8618 + 8770)/2 = 8694

Median = 5th data value = 10,086

Third quartile = Median of last 4 data values = (11148 + 11523)/2 = 11335.5 = 11336

Maximum = 11809

Thus the 5 - number summary is 7281, 8694, 10086, 11336, 11809
