Finding Outliers

Does the data below have outliers?

74, 88, 78, 90, 94, 90, 84, 90, 98, 80

Desmos:

1. Row 1: Type the data list into Desmos:

Type L = [ data separated by commas]

2. Row 2: Type: stats(L)

3. Row 3: Type the values for Q3 and Q1 into the formula Q3 - Q1 to find the IQR

4. Row 4: Type the values for Q1 and the IQR into the Left Fence Formula: Q1 - 1.5(IQR) to find the value of the Left Fence. If there are any data values LOWER than the Left Fence, there is an outlier.

5. Row 5: Type the values for Q3 and the IQR into the Right Fence Formula: Q3 + 1.5(IQR) to find the value of the Right Fence. If there are any data values HIGHER than the Right Fence, there is an outlier.

• Yes

• No
