Math Problem Statement
Below is the five-number summary for 136 hikers who recently completed the John Muir Trail (JMT). The variable is the amount of time to complete the 212-mile hike from Yosemite Valley across the high Sierras to the top of Mount Whitney.
Five-number summary:
Minimum: 9 days Q1: 18 days Median: 21 days Q3: 28 days Maximum: 56 days If we use the 1.5 * IQR rule to determine whether there are any outliers, what is the right boundary?
