Part a:
= 56
= 60
= 63
The quartiles are found by finding the medium of the data, and then the mediums of the two different data sets on either side of the medium. The is the overall medium,
is the medium of the first half, and
is the medium of the second half.
-> How is the medium found? When finding the medium we put the values in order least to greatest and pick the middle value.

Part b:
The range is 7.
The interquartile range is the range of numbers between and
. In other words, it is 50% of the data, directly in the middle.
This becomes 63 - 56 = 7
Part c:
79 is an outlier.
It is an outlier because it is 1.5 above or below (in this case, above) the interquartile range.
-> 63 + (7 + ) ≤ 79
-> 63 + 10.5 ≤ 79
-> 73.5 ≤ 79
