Extreme

80 +80= 160/2=80 (Quartile 1)


83 +86=169/2=84.5 (Quartile 3)

In order to find the lower and upper extremes we must first find the Interquartile
Range. To do so we must do the following:
Q3-Q1= 84.5-80=4.5 *1.5=6.75 (IQR)

Upper Extreme: Q3+ IQR= 84.5+6.75=91.25


Lower Extreme: Q1-IQR=80-6.75=73.25
