Consider the following five-number summary:200240250260300.This data summarizes the weights of a sample of baby elephants.

Fences designate the points in a data collectionbeyondwhich any data occurring there should reasonably be considered outliers.

Thelower fenceis located1.5times theIQRbelow thelower quartileorlower hinge.

Theupper fenceis located1.5times theIQRabove theupper quartileorupper hinge.

In other words, if a data value fallsbelow the lower fenceorabove the upper fence, then it is an outlier.

Determine whether or not the following data values from the collection are outliers, according to the previously mentioned fences:

[COMMENTS & HINTS:Select theYESresponse if each individual data value is anoutlieraccording to this fence definition, or theNOresponse if it is not.]

Is a value of290anoutlier, according to the above listed definitions of fences?

1. Yes
2. No

Consider the following five-number summary:200240250260300.This data summarizes the weights of a sample of baby elephants.

The benchmark numbers in the five-number summary divide the data up into quarters.It should seem reasonableto state that between any two consecutive numbers in the five-number summary, namely 200 & 240 or 240 & 250 or 250 & 260 or 260 & 300, you should expect to find 25% of the data.

Agree or Disagree?

1. Agree
2. Disagree

Consider the following five-number summary:200240250260300.This data summarizes the weights of a sample of baby elephants.

It shouldalso seem reasonablethat, although the precise shape of the distributionis unknown, the first quarter being wider at 40 units, from 200 to 240, is a flatter section of the graph, as is the last quarter at 40 units, from 260 to 300.The two middle quarters, each at 10 units wide, from 240 to 250 and also from 250 to 260, are narrower and therefore taller.Scanning the graph from left to right, based on the five-number summary, the shape is flatter - taller - taller - flatter.
