To determine if there are outliers in a given data set, you can use the following formula:

  • Lower Bound: Q1 - 1.5 × IQR
  • Upper Bound: Q3 + 1.5 × IQR

Where:

  • Q1 is the first quartile (25th percentile),
  • Q3 is the third quartile (75th percentile),
  • IQR is the interquartile range (Q3 - Q1).

Based on this formula, the filled in blanks would be:

  1. Response area: IQR
  2. Response area: Q1
  3. Response area: IQR
  4. Response area: Q3

So the complete statement would be:

  • Lower Bound: Q1 - 1.5 × IQR
  • Upper Bound: Q3 + 1.5 × IQR

If you want to insert them directly into your provided structure, it would look something like:

  • Response area (lower): Q1
  • Response area (lower): -1.5 ×
  • Response area (upper): Q3
  • Response area (upper): +1.5 ×

Thus the overall structure can be summarized as:

Q1 - 1.5 × IQR (for the lower bound containing outliers) and Q3 + 1.5 × IQR (for the upper bound containing outliers).
