Video 6: Data Analysis - Plots and Summary Tables

In the above video, we state that the outliers in a boxplot are computed as any points greater than the third quartile plus the inter-quartile range (IQR), or any points less than the first quartile minus the inter-quartile range (IQR). They are actually computed as any points greater than the third quartile plus 1.5*IQR, or less than the first quartile minus 1.5*IQR.
