The IQR is the length of the box in your box-and-whisker plot. An outlier is any value that lies more than one and a half times the length of the box from either end of the box.
Sections: Quartiles, boxes, and whiskers, Five-number summary, Interquartile ranges and outliers. The  interquartile range, abbreviated  IQR , is just the width of the box in the box-and-whisker plot.That is, IQR = Q 3 â Q 1. The IQR can be used as a measure of how spread-out the values are.Statistics assumes that your values are clustered around some central value.o find out if there are any outliers, I first have to find the IQR. There are fifteen data points, so the median will be at position (15 + 1) Ã· 2 = 8. Then Q 2 = 14.6. There are seven data points on either side of the median, so Q 1 is the fourth value in the list and Q 3 is the twelfth: Q 1 = 14.4 and Q 3 = 14.9.
