The accompanying data represent the miles per gallon of a random sample of cars with a three-cylinder, 1.0 liter engine. (a) Compute the z-score corresponding to the individual who obtained 32.7 miles per gallon. Interpret this result. (b) Determine the quartiles. (c) Compute and interpret the interquartile range, IQR. (d) Determine the lower and upper fences. Are there any outliers?

(a) Compute the z-score corresponding to the individual who obtained 32.7 miles per gallon
Z = (x-μ) / σ
x = 32.7
μ = 38.98
σ = 3.49
Z = (32.7-38.98)/3.49 = -1.80
P(Z < -1.80) = 0.0359
(b) Determine the quartiles. (c) Compute and interpret the interquartile range, IQR. (d) Determine the lower and upper fences. Are there anyoutliers?
Only one outlier. i.e 48.9
