Question

which of the following statements is true? remember: outliers are 1.5 iqrs greater than the upper quartile or 1.5 iqrs less than the lower quartile. a the player with a height of 72 inches is an outlier to the data set represented. b no player has a height that is considered an outlier to the data set represented. c the player with a height of 86 inches is an outlier to the data set represented.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall outlier rule

Outliers are values that are 1.5 IQRs (Inter - Quartile Ranges) greater than the upper quartile or 1.5 IQRs less than the lower quartile. Without information about the quartiles and IQR of the data - set of player heights, we assume a normal range of human heights. A height of 72 inches (6 feet) is a common height and not likely to be an outlier. A height of 86 inches (7 feet 2 inches) is extremely rare among the general population of players and is likely to be an outlier.

Answer:

C. The player with a height of 86 inches is an outlier to the data set represented.
