the interquartile range of the data set is 4. 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12 which explains whether or not 12 is an outlier?

Sagot :

Answer:

12 is not an outlier as it is not greater than 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12

Median = 5

Q₁ = 3 (3rd term in sequence)

Q₃ = 7 (9th term in sequence)

IQR = 4

Outliers are either values significantly larger or smaller than the rest of values;

The upper limit is the value above which it can be considered an outlier, it is found by: Q₃ + ³/₂(IQR)

The lower limit is found by: Q₁ - ³/₂(IQR)

Outliers < 3 - ³/₂(4)

Outliers < -3

Outliers > 7 + ³/₂(4)

Outliers > 13

The lower limit is -3 and the upper limit is 13
