Arrange all data points from lowest to highest. The first step when calculating outliers in a data set is to find the median (middle) value of the data set. This task is greatly simplified if the values in the data set are arranged in order of least to greatest.
Sugar also comes from sugar beets. About 200 countries grow sugar cane. The world's largest producer of sugar cane by far is Brazil, followed by India.
From there, the Spanish developed sugar plantations in Jamaica and Puerto Rico. But sugar plantations really took off in Brazil under the Portuguese and Dutch, the cane initially being transplanted from Madeira in the 1540s. Two decades later, Brazil was producing 2,500 tons of sugar a year. The rise of the Brazilian sugar industry in the 16th century confirmed the importance of the plantation.
