56. Blood cocaine concentration (mg/L) was determined both for a sample of individuals who had died from cocaine-induced excited delirium (ED) and for a sample of those who had died from a cocaine overdose without excited delirium; survival time for people in both groups was at most 6 hours.
The accompanying data was read from a comparative boxplot in the article Fatal Excited Delirium Following Cocaine Use (J. Forensic Sci., 1997:
25—31).

a. Determine the medians, fourths, and fourth spreads for the two samples.

b. Are there any outliers in either sample? Any extreme outliers?

c. Construct a comparative boxplot, and use it as a basis for comparing and contrasting the ED and non-ED samples.
