Answer
Answer:
- Which player is an outlier in the data? LaDainian Tomlinson
- How many rushing yards did he have? 1815
- Five - number summary:
- Min: - 7
- Q1: 13
- Median: 16
- Q3: 140
- Max: 1815
- IQR: 127
Explanation:
Step1: Arrange data in ascending order
-7, - 3, 1, 8, 13, 16, 19, 25, 49, 140, 502, 1815
Step2: Find Min and Max
Min is - 7, Max is 1815
Step3: Find Median
There are 12 data points. Median is average of 6th and 7th values. $\frac{16 + 19}{2}=16$
Step4: Find Q1 and Q3
Q1 is median of lower half (-7, - 3, 1, 8, 13, 16), which is 13. Q3 is median of upper half (19, 25, 49, 140, 502, 1815), which is 140
Step5: Calculate IQR
$IQR = Q3 - Q1=140 - 13 = 127$
Step6: Identify outlier
LaDainian Tomlinson's 1815 yards is far from other values, making him an outlier.
