It is sometimes helpful to put the values in order so that outliers

can be identified:

17 43 320 347 355 361 393 400 416 447 471 2321 2435

When we do that, we can see that most of the values are between
320 and 471. The values 17 and 43 are much lower than this
range and 2321 and 2435 are much higher than this range.
