Question

consider the following horizontal boxplot
1.5 iqr
1.5 iqr
a. does the boxplot indicate possible outliers in the data?
yes
no

Explanation:

Step1: Recall outlier rule

In a box - plot, outliers are data points that lie beyond 1.5 IQR (inter - quartile range) from the first or third quartile. If there are any points outside the whiskers (which extend to 1.5 IQR from the quartiles), they are considered outliers.

Step2: Examine the box - plot

The given box - plot has no points outside the whiskers which extend 1.5 IQR from the quartiles.

Answer:

No
