You work for a large farm with many fields of corn. You are investigating the mass of a sample of ears of com. You gather the following data: Mass(g) of ears of corn 790.3 512.6 508.5 496.6 652.5 503.3 484.1 484.9 540 516.2 644.3 581.3 566.7 Some of the masses in the sample seem much larger than the rest. You decide to make several calculations describing the "spread of the data set. You hope to use them to help in the search for outliers. Find the following: a) IQR 112. b) Apply the 1.5 IQR rule to search for outliers. Report the lower and upper cuttoffs. Lower: 484 X Upper: 790 X no (yes or no) Are there any low outliers by the 1.5 x IQR Rule? Are there any high outliers by the 1.5 x IQR Rule? yes (yes or no)
