Outliers and Influential Points

Lesson

–>

Notes

 

\(\text{A point is an Outlier if}\)
\(\text{it is below } Q1-1.5IQR\)
\(\text{ or it is above } Q3+1.5IQR\)

 

 

\(\text{Inner Quartile Range}\)
\(IQR=Q3-Q1\)

 

Practice Problems

Do the following data sets contain an outlier?

\(\textbf{1)}\) \( \{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,14\} \)

 

\(\textbf{2)}\) \( \{7,3,9,17,4,6,2\} \)

 

\(\textbf{3)}\) \( \{1,2,3,4,5,6\} \)

 

\(\textbf{4)}\) \( \{4,2,6,7,1,16,8,8\} \)

 

\(\textbf{5)}\) \( \{5,5,6,2,5,4\} \)

 

\(\textbf{6)}\) \( \{1,2,3,4,5,6,7\} \)
