Question

outliers
single variable statistics
learning objective: students will be able to find outliers from a sample or population by using the formula.
outliers formula
lower outlier = q1 - (1.5 x iqr)
higher outlier = q3 + (1.5 x iqr)
do now: what is an outlier? turn and talk then write the meaning of the word outlier

Explanation:

In statistics, an outlier is a data - point that is significantly different from other data - points in a dataset. It lies outside the overall pattern of the data. The given formulas use quartiles (Q1 and Q3) and the inter - quartile range (IQR) to determine boundaries for outliers.

Answer:

An outlier is a data - point that is far from other data - points in a dataset, either much smaller (lower outlier) or much larger (higher outlier) than the bulk of the data.
