What are the correct expressions for using the IQR to determine if there is an outlier that is a lot less and a lot greater than the other values. Hint: Choose 2 expressions.

• Q1 - 1.5(IQR)

• Q3 - 1.5(IQR)

• Q1 + 1.5(IQR)

• Q3 + 1.5(IQR)

Use the interquartile range to identify any outliers in the following data.

16, 22, 23, 25, 27, 29, 35, 40, 43

• No outliers.

• 43 is an outlier.

• 16 is an outlier

• 16 and 43 are outliers

Jacob recorded the ages of the people at a picnic. The data set is listed below.
12, 12, 14, 15, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 35, 36
What effect does the arrival of Jacob’s 72-year old grandfather have on the difference between the mean and the median ages of people at the picnic?

• The difference increases by about 2.1.
• The difference increases by about 3.3
• The difference increases by about 4.1
• The difference increases by about 4.3
