Question
### Quartiles, Interquartile Range, and Outliers

#### Instructions:
Use the accompanying data set to complete the following actions:
a. Find the quartiles.
b. Find the interquartile range.
c. Identify any outliers.

#### Data Set:
41, 50, 35, 43, 41, 37, 41, 46, 43, 39, 36, 54, 42, 35, 15, 53, 37, 49, 29, 29

---

### Solutions:

#### a. Find the quartiles.

The first quartile, \( Q_1 \), is __.

The second quartile, \( Q_2 \), is __.

The third quartile, \( Q_3 \), is __.

*(Type integers or decimals.)*

#### b. Find the interquartile range.

The interquartile range (IQR) is __.

*(Type an integer or a decimal.)*

#### c. Identify any outliers. Choose the correct choice below.

- [ ] A. There exists at least one outlier in the data set at __. \
     *(Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)*
- [ ] B. There are no outliers in the data set.

---

### Detailed Explanation:

1. Quartiles divide the data set into four equal parts.

   - **First Quartile \( (Q_1) \)**: The median of the lower half of the data.
   - **Second Quartile \( (Q_2) \)**: The median of the data set.
   - **Third Quartile \( (Q_3) \)**: The median of the upper half of the data.

2. The **Interquartile Range (IQR)** is calculated as:
   \[
   IQR = Q_3 - Q_1
   \]

3. **Outliers** are typically identified using the IQR method:
   - Lower Bound: \( Q_1 - 1.5 \times IQR \)
   - Upper Bound: \( Q_3 + 1.5 \times IQR \)
   - Any data point below the Lower Bound or above the Upper Bound is considered an outlier.
