WORKSHEET A

The following are the number of recorded animal deaths in 47 countries. Compute for the IQR
and the real outliers.

49 50 53 60 61 67 69 71 78 83
85 86 86 86 87 88 89 89 90 91
91 91 92 93 93 93 94 94 95 95
96 97 97 98 99 100 112 113 115 115
116 120 122 130 135 139 140

Q1 i = p (n + 1) Q3 i = p (n + 1) IQR = Q3 – Q1

4 4 = 100 – 86

= 1 (47 + 1) = 3 (47 + 1) IQR = 14

4 4

= 48 ÷ 4 = 144 ÷ 4

= 12 = 36

Q1 = 86 Q3 = 100

To the left of Q1 To the right of Q3

x ‹ Q1 – IQR (1.5) x › Q3 + IQR (1.5)

x ‹ 86 – 14 (1.5) x › 100 + 14 (1.5)

x ‹ 86 – 21 x › 100 + 21

x ‹ 57 x › 121

 There are 5 outliers to the left of Q1

 There are 5 outliers to the right of Q3
