To analyze the data from the study conducted by Carol, let's first summarize the information given in the table:

| Classes | Watch News |
|---------|------------|
| Hall | 35 |
| Benny | 45 |
| Leggo | 26 |
| Talle | 32 |
| Flower | 46 |
| Gomez | 38 |
| Range | 39 |
| Book | 40 |
| Toledo | 26 |
| Rich | 72 |

**Step 1: Organize the "Watch News" data.**
First, we need to list out all the values from the "Watch News" column:

- 35, 45, 26, 32, 46, 38, 39, 40, 26, 72

**Step 2: Sort the data.**
Sorting these values in ascending order, we get:

- 26, 26, 32, 35, 38, 39, 40, 45, 46, 72

**Step 3: Calculate each listed value.**

1. **Range**:
The range is calculated as the difference between the maximum and minimum values.

- Maximum = 72
- Minimum = 26

\[
\text{Range} = 72 - 26 = 46
\]

2. **Outlier**:
To find outliers, we can use the IQR (Interquartile Range) method.
- First, find the median (Q2), lower quartile (Q1), and upper quartile (Q3).

Median (Q2):
- The median is the average of the 5th and 6th values in the sorted list.

\[
\text{Median} = \frac{38 + 39}{2} = 38.5
\]

Lower Quartile (Q1):
- The lower quartile is the median of the first half of the data (26, 26, 32, 35, 38).

\[
Q1 = 32
\]

Upper Quartile (Q3):
- The upper quartile is the median of the second half of the data (39, 40, 45, 46, 72).

\[
Q3 = 45
\]

IQR = Q3 - Q1:

\[
\text{IQR} = 45 - 32 = 13
\]

Outliers are typically defined as values below \( Q1 - 1.5 \times \text{IQR} \) or above \( Q3 + 1.5 \times \text{IQR} \).

\[
Q1 - 1.5 \times \text{IQR} = 32 - 19.5 = 12.5
\]
\[
Q3 + 1.5 \times \text{IQR} = 45 + 19.5 = 64.5
\]

The values below 12.5 or above 64.5 are considered outliers.

In our case, 72 is an outlier. So, we can summarize:

- **Outlier**: 72

3. **Median**:
Already calculated as:

- **Median**: 38.5

4. **Lower Quartile and Upper Quartile**:
We've calculated these as:

- **Lower Quartile (Q1)**: 32
- **Upper Quartile (Q3)**: 45

5. **Interquartile Range (IQR)**:
Already calculated as:

- **Interquartile Range**: 13

**Final Results:**
- Range = 46
- Outlier = 72
- Median = 38.5
- Lower quartile = 32, Upper quartile = 45
- Interquartile Range = 13
