For the given data we first find the first and third quartiles using Excel function Qurtile.Exc                  
Q1 = Quartile.exc(data, 1)                  
Q1 = 144.25                  
                  
Q3 = Quartile.exc(data, 3)                  
Q3 = 166                  
                  
Inter Quartile Range                  
IQR = Q3 - Q1                  
        = 166 - 144.25                  
        = 21.75                  
Upper outlier boundary is given by                  
Q3 + 1.5 * IQR                  
= 166 + 1.5 * 21.75                  
= 198.625                  

Upper outlier boundary is = 198.625

Hence, the observation 199 is an outlier as it is greater than 198.625
