A dataset has the following 5 number summary:  (15, 42, 52, 56, 71).  The dataset is quite large (sample size 120).   Use the IQR method to check if any of the following values are outliers. Select the value(s) if any exist, that are outliers. Full credit can only be earned with appropriate work shown on scrap paper.  Submit your scrap paper to the dropbox within 15 minutes of finishing your test.
