(b) and
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Solving (a): Check for outliers
This is calculated using:
--- lower bound of outlier
--- upper bound of outlier
Where
So, we have:
The lower bound of outlier becomes
The upper bound of outlier becomes
So, we have:
--- the range without outlier
Given that:
--- This represents the lowest data
--- This represents the highest data
-24 and 64 are out of range of .
Hence, there are outliers
Solving (b): The outliers
The outliers are data less than the lower bound (i.e. less than -14) or greater than the upper bound (i.e. 62)
So, the outliers are:
and
