5 number summary
Minimum 9 days
Q118 days
Median 21 days
Q328 days
Maximum 56 days

If we use the 1.5 IQR rule to determine whether there are any outliers what is the left a boundary

a. 56
b. 3
c. 43
d. 9

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex] IQR = Q_3 -Q_1 = 28-18 = 10[/tex]

Now we can find the limits in order to determine outliers like this:

[tex] Left = Q_1 -1.5 IQR = 18 -1.5*10=3[/tex]

[tex] Right = Q_1 +1.5 IQR = 18 +1.5*10=33[/tex]

So for this case the left boundary would be 3, if a value is lower than 3 we consider this observation as an outlier

b. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following summary:

[tex] Minimum = 9[/tex] represent the minimum value

[tex] Q_1 = 18[/tex] represent the first quartile

[tex] Median =Q_2= 21[/tex] represent the median

[tex] Q_3 = 28 [/tex] represent the third quartil

[tex] Maximum=56[/tex] represent the maximum

If we use the 1.5 IQR we need to find first the interquartile range defined as:

[tex] IQR = Q_3 -Q_1 = 28-18 = 10[/tex]

Now we can find the limits in order to determine outliers like this:

[tex] Left = Q_1 -1.5 IQR = 18 -1.5*10=3[/tex]

[tex] Right = Q_1 +1.5 IQR = 18 +1.5*10=33[/tex]

So for this case the left boundary would be 3, if a value is lower than 3 we consider this observation as an outlier

b. 3
