(enter \yes\ or
o\) yes

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for lower fence

The formula for the lower fence is $Q1 - 1.5\times IQR$. We know that $Q1 = 464.4$ and $IQR=150$.

Step2: Calculate the lower fence

Substitute the values into the formula: $464.4-1.5\times150=464.4 - 225=239.4$

Answer:

Lower: $239.4$, Upper: $839$
