You did not add any data set to these question but i will explain how to find outliers in a data set so that you can apply it to this question

Step-by-step explanation:

An observation is an outlier if it falls more than 1.5(IQR) above the upper quartile or more than 1.5(IQR) below the lower quartile. This means that anything less than Q1−1.5IQR or greater than Q3+1.5IQR will be an outlier.

The first quartile (Q1) is defined as the middle number between the smallest number and the median of the data set.

The third quartile (Q3) is the middle value between the median and the highest value of the data set.

NB: IQR means Interquartile Range
