Calculating Outliers

Use the 1.5 IQR rule to determine if there are any outliers for the following numbers:
84, 88, 72, 74, 98, 16, 94

• Yes, 16 is an outlier.

• Yes, 33 is an outlier.

• Yes, 98 is an outlier.

• There are no numbers less than 39 or greater than 124, therefore there are no outliers.

When might the mean not be the best measure of center?

• When you don't feel like calculating the mean

• When there is more than one mode

• When you have a big range

• When you have outliers in your data
