Unusual Data (creating a box and whisker plot)
Outlier Rule: 1. Arrange data in order. 2. Calculate first quartile (Q1), third quartile (Q3) and the interquartile range (IQR=Q3-Q1). CO2 emissions example: Q1=0.9, Q3=6.05, IQR= Compute Q1–1.5 × IQR (=– 6.825) Compute Q3+1.5 × IQR (=13.775) Anything outside this range is an outlier.
