a.[3]
Find the median and quartiles for these data.
b.[1]
Calculate Q3−Q1Q_3-Q_1Q3−Q1.
c.[3]
A value that is greater than Q3+1.5×(Q3−Q1)Q_3 + 1.5 \times (Q_3 - Q_1)Q3+1.5×(Q3−Q1) or smaller than Q1−1.5×(Q3−Q1)Q_1 - 1.5 \times (Q_3 - Q_1)Q1−1.5×(Q3−Q1) is defined as an outlier. Show that there are no outliers.
d.[2]
Draw a box plot for these data.
