Answer :
Given:
The five number summary of two data sets are given as:
a) 0, 4, 12, 14, 20
b) 2, 8, 14, 18, 20
To find:
The range for the outliers.
Solution:
We know that,
An observation is considered an outlier if it is below [tex]Q_1-1.5(IQR)[/tex]
An observation is considered an outlier if it is above [tex]Q_3+1.5(IQR)[/tex]
Where, IQR is the interquartile range and [tex]IQR=Q_3-Q_1[/tex].
The five number summary of two data sets are given as:
0, 4, 12, 14, 20
Here, [tex]Q_1=4[/tex] and [tex]Q_3=14[/tex].
Now,
[tex]IQR=14-4[/tex]
[tex]IQR=10[/tex]
The range for the outliers is:
[tex][Q_1-1.5(IQR),Q_3+1.5(IQR)]=[4-1.5(10),14+1.5(10)][/tex]
[tex][Q_1-1.5(IQR),Q_3+1.5(IQR)]=[4-15,14+15][/tex]
[tex][Q_1-1.5(IQR),Q_3+1.5(IQR)]=[-11,29][/tex]
An observation is considered an outlier if it is below -11.
An observation is considered an outlier if it is above 29.
The five number summary of two data sets are given as:
2, 8, 14, 18, 20
Here, [tex]Q_1=8[/tex] and [tex]Q_3=18[/tex].
Now,
[tex]IQR=18-8[/tex]
[tex]IQR=10[/tex]
The range for the outliers is:
[tex][Q_1-1.5(IQR),Q_3+1.5(IQR)]=[8-1.5(10),18+1.5(10)][/tex]
[tex][Q_1-1.5(IQR),Q_3+1.5(IQR)]=[8-15,18+15][/tex]
[tex][Q_1-1.5(IQR),Q_3+1.5(IQR)]=[-7,33][/tex]
An observation is considered an outlier if it is below -7.
An observation is considered an outlier if it is above 33.
