Short Answer

Expert verified

Option (e) 257 is correct.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

The given information is:

The stemplot depicts how many home runs each of the 30 Major League Baseball teams hit in a single season.

We are provided with five options, we need to tell which statement is correct according to the given statement.

02

Step 2. Find the outliers.

Data is:

91, 95, 103, 107, 108, 109, 114, 117, 121, 129, 148, 149, 153, 154, 154, 154, 155, 162, 163, 169, 172, 172, 173, 183, 185, 186, 191, 203, 210, 222

They are total 30 terms. Then the median is the average of 15th and 16th term.

M=154+1542=154

For the first quartile, the data values are 15. Then the first quartile is 117.

For the first quartile, the data values are 15. Then the first quartile is 173.

IQR=Q3-Q1=173-117=56Q3+1.5IQR=173+1.556=256Q1-1.5IQR=117-1.556=33

Observations that are more than 1.5 times the IQR above the third quarter or below the first quarter are considered outliers.

From the given data we can see that 257 is an outlier, therefore option (e) 257 is the correct option.
