The interquartile range is used to check for the outliers present in the data set. A data value x is considered as an outlier, if x < Q1 - 1.5(IQR) or x > Q3 + 1.5(IQR).
this is what i found in my notes but idk how to calculate it one sec
OpenStudy (ageta):
can u plug thst in this eqn x < Q1 - 1.5(IQR) or x > Q3 + 1.5(IQR).
to find outliers?
OpenStudy (ageta):

IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 92 - 72 = 20
what is `Q1 - 1.5(IQR)` equal to?
