Q. Select the outlier in the data set. \newline10,13,15,17,24,37,63,81,80410, 13, 15, 17, 24, 37, 63, 81, 804
  1. Arrange Data in Ascending Order: Arrange the data set in ascending order.\newlineThe data set in ascending order is: 10,13,15,17,24,37,63,81,80410, 13, 15, 17, 24, 37, 63, 81, 804.
  2. Calculate Interquartile Range: Calculate the interquartile range (IQR) of the data set.\newlineFirst, find the median Q2Q_2, which is the middle value when the data is ordered. For our data set, the median is 2424.\newlineNext, find Q1Q_1, the median of the lower half of the data set (not including the median). The lower half is 1010, 1313, 1515, 1717, so Q1Q_1 is the average of 1313 and 1515, which is 242400.\newlineThen, find 242411, the median of the upper half of the data set (not including the median). The upper half is 242422, 242433, 242444, 242455, so 242411 is the average of 242433 and 242444, which is 242499.\newlineNow, calculate the IQR: Q1Q_100.
  3. Determine Outlier Boundaries: Determine the outlier boundaries.\newlineThe lower boundary for outliers is Q11.5×IQRQ1 - 1.5 \times IQR, which is 141.5×58=1487=7314 - 1.5 \times 58 = 14 - 87 = -73.\newlineThe upper boundary for outliers is Q3+1.5×IQRQ3 + 1.5 \times IQR, which is 72+1.5×58=72+87=15972 + 1.5 \times 58 = 72 + 87 = 159.\newlineAny data point below 73-73 or above 159159 is considered an outlier.
  4. Identify Outliers: Identify any outliers based on the boundaries.\newlineLooking at the data set, the value 804804 is above the upper boundary of 159159, so it is an outlier.
