Question

The first quartile of a data set is 32, and the third quartile is 52. Which of

these values in the data set is an outlier?

Answer 1

Answer: As we know that the formula of outlier is

IQR = Q3 - Q1

= 52 - 32

= 20

52 + 1.5(20) = 82...

so anything above 82 is an outlier

now

32 - 1.5(20) = 2.

..anything below 2 is an outlier

so...the 83 is outlier

so correct option is D

hope it helps
