Explanation:

Step1: Recall outlier definition

In statistics, an outlier is defined as a number above Q3 + 1.5(IQR) or below Q1 - 1.5(IQR), where IQR = Q3 - Q1. The given statement "An outlier is any number above Q3 or below Q1" is incorrect.

Step2: Analyze options

Option B correctly states the true definition of an outlier.

Answer:

B. This statement is false. A true statement is "An outlier is any number above Q3 + 1.5(IQR) or below Q1 - 1.5(IQR) are considered outliers."
