Compare datas
Outliers
• A data value is an outlier if x < Q1 – 1.5(IQR) or
• if x > Q3 + 1.5(IQR)
• Statistics – numbers that characterize a data set, such as measures of center and spread.

The tables list the daily car sales of two competing dealerships.

standard deviation for each data set. Compare the measures of
center for the two dealers.

B. Create a dot plot for each data set. Compare the distributions of the data
sets.
C. Determine if there are any outliers in the data sets. If there are, remove the outlier and find the statistics for that data set(s).
What was affected by the outliers?
