When using IQR to find outliers, which formula will identify the upper limit?

Q3 - 1.5(IQR)

Q1 + 1.5(IQR)

Q1 - 1.5(IQR)

Q3 + 1.5(IQR)

Answer explanation

To identify the upper limit for outliers using IQR, the correct formula is Q3 + 1.5(IQR). This formula helps determine the threshold above which data points are considered outliers.

Q3 - 1.5(IQR)

Q1 + 1.5(IQR)

Q1 - 1.5(IQR)

Q3 + 1.5(IQR)

Answer explanation

To identify the lower limit for outliers using IQR, the correct formula is Q1 - 1.5(IQR). This formula helps determine values that fall below this threshold, indicating potential outliers.

Which of the following best describes the process of finding the interquartile range for a set of data?

Add the biggest and smallest numbers.

Place the numbers in order from least to greatest and find the middle.

Find the difference between the maximum and the minimum.

Subtract Q1 from Q3.

Answer explanation

The interquartile range (IQR) is calculated by subtracting the first quartile (Q1) from the third quartile (Q3). This measures the spread of the middle 50% of the data, making 'Subtract Q1 from Q3' the correct choice.
