Step 1
(c). Explain why one of the weights in green house A was identified as an outlier:
The presence of outliers is detected with the use lower and upper limits of the data set.
From the given boxplot, the values of quartiles are identified as given below:
First quartile is Q1 = 14.5 and third quartile is Q3 = 16.4
The inter quartile range is obtained below as:
Outliers are the values that are less than the lower limit of the data set and the values that are greater than the upper limit of the data set.
The value of 19.7 is greater than the upper limit 19.25.
Hence, the data point 19.7 is an outlier.
