- Find the median age of the male passengers.
- Show that the interquartile range (IQR) of these ages is 16
An outlier is defined as a value that is more than
\(1.5 \times\) IQR above the upper quartile
or
\(1.5 \times\) IQR below the lower quartile - Show that there are 3 outliers amongst these ages.
- On the grid in Figure 1 on page 9, draw a box plot for the ages of the male passengers on the cruise.
Figure 1 on page 9 also shows a box plot for the ages of the female passengers on the cruise.
