Math Problem Statement

The last 11 responses to a customer support line had the following lengths (in minutes): 52, 52, 53, 55, 56, 59, 60, 61, 65, 66, 67. Complete the parts below to identify any outliers.

Solution

I can help you with the problem shown in the image. Let's go step by step:

Given Data

The data set provided is: 52,52,53,55,56,59,60,61,65,66,6752, 52, 53, 55, 56, 59, 60, 61, 65, 66, 67

Part (a) - Finding Q1Q_1 and Q3Q_3

  • Q1Q_1 is the lower quartile, which is the median of the lower half of the data.
  • Q3Q_3 is the upper quartile, which is the median of the upper half of the data.

To calculate these:

  • First, arrange the data in ascending order (

Formulas

Q1 = lower quartile = median of the lower half of the data
Q3 = upper quartile = median of the upper half of the data
IQR = Q3 - Q1
Lower Bound = Q1 - 1.5 * IQR
Upper Bound = Q3 + 1.5 * IQR
