changed "extreme outlier" to more than 3 * IQR, not 2 * IQR which was wrong : http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/boxplot.htm
Line 20:
* mean = 8
* [[interquartile range]], IQR = <math>Q3-Q1</math> = 2
* the value 3.5 is a "mild" outlier, between 1.5*(IQR) and 23*(IQR) below Q1
* the value 0.5 is an "extreme" outlier, more than 23*(IQR) below Q1
* the smallest value that is ''not'' an outlier is 5
* the data is [[skewness|skewed]] to the left (''negatively skewed'')
