The interquartile range, often abbreviated IQR, is the difference between the 25th percentile (Q1) and the 75th percentile (Q3) in a dataset.
We often declare an observation to be an outlier in a dataset if it has a value 1.5 times greater than the IQR or 1.5 times less than the IQR.
This calculator uses this formula to automatically calculate the upper and lower outlier boundaries for a given dataset.
