The dataset 78 is an outlier of the dataset

How to determine the true statement about the outlier?

The dataset is given as:

1, 12, 13, 15, 18, 20, 35, 37, 40, 78

Where

Q1 = 13

Q3 = 37

The boundaries of the outliers are given as:

L = Q1 - 1.5 * (Q3 - Q1)

U = Q3 + 1.5 * (Q3 - Q1)

Substitute the known values in the above equation

L = 13 - 1.5 * (37 - 13) = -23

U = 37 + 1.5 * (37 - 13) = 73

This means that the data elements outside the range -23 to 73 are outliers.

78 is outside this range

Hence, 78 is an outlier of the dataset
