You work for a large farm with many fields of corn. You are investigating the mass of a sample of ears of corn. You gather the following data: Massig) of ears of corn 636.1 509.9 500.7 735.7 575.5 463.8 477.7 643.2 493.2 642.8 773.1 659.9 502.5 Checksum: 7614.1 Some of the masses in the sample seem much larger than the rest. You decide to make several calculations describing the spread of the data set. You hope to use them to help in the search for outliers. Find the following: a) IQR b) Apply the 1.5 IQR rule to search for outliers. Report the lower and upper cuttoffs. Lower: Upper: Are there any outliers by the 1.5 IQR rule? (Enter "yes" or "no") You work for a large farm with many fields of corn. You are investigating the mass of a sample of ears of corn.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

a IQR The Interquartile Range IQR is a measure of spread of a data set It is calculated by taking the difference between the third quartile Q3 and the first quartile Q1 of the data set The Q1 represents the value of the data below which 25 of the data lies while Q3 represents the value of the data above which 75 of the data lies To calculate ...
