Answer:
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
From the plotted number line :
The Outlier value can be determined :
Q1 = 0.25(n+1)th term
Q1 = 0.25(21)th term = 5.25th = (2 1/4 + 2)/2 = 2.125
Q3 = 0.75(21)th term = 15.75th = 2 1/2
IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 2.5 - 2.125 = 0.375 = 3/8
Q1 - 1.5(IQR) = 2.125 - (1.5*0.375) = 1.5625
Q3 - 1.5(IQR) = 2.5 + (1.5*0.375) = 3.0625
Hence, Outlier values will be :
Values < 1.5625 and
Values > 3.0625
The Outlier value in the data is 3/4
