### Five Number Summary and Interquartile Range Calculation

To calculate the five number summary and the interquartile range of the following data set:

\[ 18, 50, 45, 35, 72, 38, 28, 56, 64, 24, 52, 43, 42, 46, 67 \]

#### Five Number Summary

- **Q1** (First Quartile) = [Insert calculation here]
- **Q2** (Median) = [Insert calculation here]
- **Q3** (Third Quartile) = [Insert calculation here]
- **Min** (Minimum value) = [Insert calculation here]
- **Max** (Maximum value) = [Insert calculation here]

#### Interquartile Range (IQR)

\[ \text{IQR} = Q3 - Q1 \]

- **IQR** = [Insert calculation here]

#### Potential Outlier

There is a potential outlier in this data set.

- **A. False**
- **B. True**

Please perform the calculations as follows to fill in the summary:

1. **Sort the Data:**
   \[ 18, 24, 28, 35, 38, 42, 43, 45, 46, 50, 52, 56, 64, 67, 72 \]
   
2. **Calculate Q1, Q2, and Q3:**
   - **Q1:** The median of the first half of the data
   - **Q2 (Median):** The median of the entire data set
   - **Q3:** The median of the second half of the data

3. **Find Min and Max:**
   - **Min:** The smallest number in the data set
   - **Max:** The largest number in the data set

4. **Calculate the IQR:**
   - Subtract Q1 from Q3 to get the IQR

Use the results from the calculations to complete the five number summary and determine if there is a potential outlier in the data set.
