Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Interquartile Range (IQR)

To determine if there are any outliers in the Southside's distribution using rule #1, we first need to calculate the Interquartile Range (IQR). The IQR is found by subtracting the first quartile (Q1) from the third quartile (Q3).

Given:

  • Q1 = 492.5
  • Q3 = 652.5

\[ \text{IQR} = Q3 - Q1 = 652.5 - 492.5 = 160 \]

Step 2: Calculate the Lower and Upper Bounds

Using the IQR, we can calculate the lower and upper bounds to identify outliers. The lower bound (LB) is calculated as Q1 - 1.5 * IQR, and the upper bound (UB) is calculated as Q3 + 1.5 * IQR.

\[ \text{LB} = Q1 - 1.5 \times \text{IQR} = 492.5 - 1.5 \times 160 = 492.5 - 240 = 252.5 \] \[ \text{UB} = Q3 + 1.5 \times \text{IQR} = 652.5 + 1.5 \times 160 = 652.5 + 240 = 892.5 \]

Step 3: Determine Outliers Using Rule #1

Any value below the lower bound or above the upper bound is considered an outlier.

  • Lower Bound: 252.5
  • Upper Bound: 892.5

Check the data set to see if any values fall outside these bounds. If there are values less than 252.5 or greater than 892.5, they are outliers.

Final Answer

Using rule #1, any values in the Southside's distribution that are less than 252.5 or greater than 892.5 are considered outliers.
