Question

39 students were asked their political orientation and to estimate the number of people making up the US Congress. 16 students identified themselves as conservative, 16 as moderate and 7 as liberal. The following 16 data values represent the estimates of the size of the US Congress for the 16 conservative students.

68	100	162	180	210	230	250	250
260	300	330	440	480	535	535	656

Q₁ = 195 and Q₃ = 460.

1. For determining outliers, we create an interval to check if all our data is in that interval. What would be the lower endpoint of this interval? ["", "", "", "", ""] AC 0 -125.5 25 68 -202.5

2. For determining outliers, we create an interval to check if all our data is in that interval. What would be the upper endpoint of this interval? ["", "", "", "", ""] AC 857.5 750.5 656 1000 700

3. Finally, what would be our conclusion regarding if there exist any outliers in this data? AC 68 is the only outlier as it isnt in the interval

656 is the only outlier as it isn't in the interval

no outliers

both 68 and 656 are outlier as they arent in the interval
