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 (also called the midspread or middle fifty), is the distance between the third and first quartiles and is considered a more stable statistic than the range of the set. The IQR contains 50% of the data.
