Carol did a study to look at the number of television viewers who watched nightly news in various classes in her school.

To find the values such as range, outlier, median, lower quartile (Q1), upper quartile (Q3), and interquartile range (IQR) from the data set, I would need the specific values from Carol's study, typically presented in a table. However, I can explain how to calculate each of these values.

  1. Range: The difference between the maximum and minimum values in the data set. \[ \text{Range} = \text{Maximum} - \text{Minimum} \]

  2. Outlier: A value that lies outside 1.5 times the interquartile range below Q1 or above Q3. The steps to identify outliers are:

    • Calculate IQR: \( \text{IQR} = Q3 - Q1 \)
    • Calculate lower bound: \( Q1 - 1.5 \times \text{IQR} \)
    • Calculate upper bound: \( Q3 + 1.5 \times \text{IQR} \)
    • Any data point outside these bounds is considered an outlier.
  3. Median: The middle value when the data set is ordered. If there's an even number of data points, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.

  4. Lower Quartile (Q1): The median of the first half of the data (below the median).

  5. Upper Quartile (Q3): The median of the second half of the data (above the median).

  6. Interquartile Range (IQR): The difference between the upper and lower quartiles. \[ \text{IQR} = Q3 - Q1 \]

If you can provide the data set from Carol's study, I can help you compute these statistics.
