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.
The interquartile range, abbreviated IQR, is just the width of the box in the box-and-whisker plot. That is, IQR = Q3 â Q1. 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. The IQR tells how spread out the middle values are; it can also be used to tell when some of the other values are too far from the central value.
