The following table contains recorded values on a level transmitter of a tank that’s holding water.
The samples are taken every hour for 24 hours.
Hours | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 |
Litres | 100 | 101 | 104 | 106 | 99 | 50 | 103 | 91 | 110 | 91 | 93 | 92 |
Hours | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 |
Litres | 95 | 96 | 91 | 92 | 101 | 104 | 106 | 125 | 106 | 101 | 104 | 100 |
Calculate the following using a computer program such as excel:
Median:
Mode:
Outlier:
Solution-
Measures | Values | Excel Functions |
---|---|---|
Median | 100.5 | =MEDIAN() |
Mode | 91 | =MODE() |
Q1 | 92.75 | =QUARTILE.INC(data,1) |
Q3 | 104 | =QUARTILE.INC(data,3) |
IQR | 11.25 | =Q3-Q1 |
Lower Limit | 75.875 | =Q1 -(1.5*IQR) |
Upper Limit | 120.875 | =Q3 +(1.5*IQR) |
Data is arranged in ascending order we have calculated limits for outliers -
( 75.875 , 120.875 ) the points outside this interval are Outliers.
there are two points outside of this interval 50 and 125
therefore outliers are 50 and 125
