Based on number of points scored by Josh, the statistical summary include;

Minimum = 6.


Q_1 = 7.75.

Median = 10.


Q_3 = 14.25.

Maximum = 26.

IQR = 6.5

Low End = -2

High End = 24

The outlier is 26.

In Mathematics and Statistics, a box plot is a type of chart that can be used to graphically or visually represent the five-number summary of a data set with respect to locality, skewness, and spread.

Based on the information provided about the data set, the five-number summary for the given data set can be computed graphically as follows:

Minimum (Min) = 6.

First quartile (
Q_1) = 7.75.

Median (Med) = 10.

Third quartile (
Q_3) = 14.25.

Maximum (Max) = 26.

Mathematically, interquartile range (IQR) of a data set is the difference between third quartile (
Q_3) and the first quartile (
Q_1):

Interquartile range (IQR) of data set = third quartile - first quartile

Interquartile range (IQR) of data set = 14.25 - 7.75

Interquartile range (IQR) of data set = 6.5

Low End =
Q_1 - (1.5 × IQR)

Low End = 7.75 - (1.5 × 6.5)

Low End = -2

High End =
Q_3 + (1.5 × IQR)

High End = 14.25 + (1.5 × 6.5)

High End = 24

An outlier is a number that's either unusually too large or little in comparison with the overall pattern of the numerical values contained in a data set. Hence, the outlier is 26.
