She surveyed 10 people each time to get her 30. Jennifer: She went to Wegmans after her nursing shift first thing Wednesday morning to buy deodorant since she ran out. When she was in the pharmacy area she surveyed all the people around her and then, to get up to 30 surveys, she went to the health food section and surveyed everyone she was there.

He decides to identify players who are outliers in a few statistics he has chosen. Currently, he's looking at wide receivers. The game includes the top 100 receivers in 2012 by number of receptions. Ted, however, is more interested in receiving yards, and the table shows the five-number summary of the available players in the game (in yards): Minimum 1st quartile (Q1) Median 3rd quartile (Q3) Maximum 258.0 549.5 743.0 936.5 1964.0 The mean is 787.6 yds with a standard deviation of 311.3 yds. Ted first calculates the interquartile range (IQR). Next, to determine suspected outliers, he calculates Q1 – 1.5 · IQR and Q3 + 1.5 · IQR. Specify those results to at least one decimal place.
