Can you help me find Q1, Q3, any outliers, and interquartile rang out of 6, 20, 25, 26, 30, 30, 31, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 36, 39, 40, 41,50, 52, 66, 76.
I searched Google under the key words "Statistics Q1 Q3" to get this source:

It should help you to determine the process, so you can find similar parameters with other data.
In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
To find Q1 (the first quartile), Q3 (the third quartile), and any outliers, as well as the interquartile range, you can follow these steps:
1. Arrange the data in ascending order:
6, 20, 25, 26, 30, 30, 31, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 36, 39, 40, 41, 50, 52, 66, 76.
2. Find the median (Q2), which is the middle value of the data set:
Q2 = 33.
3. Divide the data into two halves, the lower half and the upper half.
Lower half: 6, 20, 25, 26, 30, 30, 31, 31, 32, 33.
Upper half: 34, 36, 36, 39, 40, 41, 50, 52, 66, 76.
4. Find the median (Q1) of the lower half.
Q1 = 30.
5. Find the median (Q3) of the upper half.
Q3 = 41.
6. Calculate the interquartile range (IQR), which is the difference between Q3 and Q1.
IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 41 - 30 = 11.
7. To identify outliers, we can use the "1.5 × IQR rule," where any value less than Q1 - 1.5 × IQR or greater than Q3 + 1.5 × IQR is considered an outlier.
Q1 - 1.5 × IQR = 30 - 1.5 × 11 = 30 - 16.5 = 13.5.
Q3 + 1.5 × IQR = 41 + 1.5 × 11 = 41 + 16.5 = 57.5.
Any value less than 13.5 or greater than 57.5 would be considered an outlier in this case.
In conclusion, for the given data set, the values are as follows:
Q1 = 30
Q3 = 41
Interquartile range (IQR) = 11
There are no outliers based on the "1.5 × IQR rule."
