POTENTIAL OUTLIERS (DO NOT USE SPACES)
Q1
Q2
Q3
Explanation / Answer
(a) Here Total data numbers in data set = 21
so n = 21 (odd)
Quartile 1 = Q1 = (n + 3)/4 th number = 6th number = 34
Quartile 2 = Q2 = (n + 1)/2 th number = 11th number = 45
Quartile 3 = Q3 = 3(n + 3)/4 th number = 16th number = 70
(b) Five Number summary
Minimum = 12
Q1 = 34
Q2 = 45
Q3 = 70
Maximum = 125
(c) IQR = 70 - 34 = 36
(d) Lower limit = Q1 - 1.5 IQR = 34 - 1.5 * 36 = -20
(e) Upper Limit = Q3 + 1.5 IQR = 70 + 1.5 * 36 = 124
(f) Here NPO as there is no potential outlier here.
