Answer 3

@KendrickLamar2014 You're not supposed to give answers..plus that's incorrect.

Answer 4

First let's find the IQR.

IQR = Q3 - Q1

Q3 = 18
Q1 = 13

What's 18 - 13?

Answer 5

5.

Answer 6

Yes, now the outlier will be above Q3 + 1.5 * IQR

What's 1.5 * 5?

Answer 7

7.5

Answer 8

Yes, now add 18 + 7.5

Answer 9

25.5
