Question

What is the outlier of 29, 2, 28, 30, 26, 31

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data : 29, 2, 28, 30, 26, 31

Outlier ;

Lower :Q1 - (1.5 * IQR)

Upper : Q3 + (1.5 * IQR)

Q1 = Lower quartile ; Q3 = upper quartile ; IQR = Interquartile range

Using calculator :

Q1 = 26

Q3 = 30

IQR = (Q3 - Q1) = 30 - 26 = 4

Lower : 26 - (1.5 * 4) = 20

Upper : 30 + (1.5 * 4) = 36

Hence, the number in the given data which falls outside the range is 2
