Consider the dot plot below.
Determine the median, lower quartile score and the upper quartile score.
Median $=$= $\editable{}$
Lower quartile $=$= $\editable{}$
Upper quartile $=$= $\editable{}$
Hence, calculate the interquartile range.
Calculate $1.5\times IQR$1.5×IQR, where IQR is the interquartile range.
An outlier is a score that is more than $1.5\times IQR$1.5×IQR above or below the Upper Quartile or Lower Quartile respectively. State the outlier.
