Use the set of data for questions 4 and 5:
[tex]\[ -3, 11, 4, 12, -1, 0, -3, 17, -4, 1 \][/tex]

4. Find the range and IQR for the data.
5. Find the MAD for the data and determine if there are any outliers.

Sure! Let's address each part of the problem in a detailed, step-by-step manner.

### 3. Finding the Range and Interquartile Range (IQR)

Range:
The range of a data set is the difference between the maximum and minimum values.

- Identify the maximum value in the data set: 17
- Identify the minimum value in the data set: -4
- Calculate the range:
[tex]\[ \text{Range} = \text{Maximum} - \text{Minimum} = 17 - (-4) = 17 + 4 = 21 \][/tex]

Thereby, the range of the data is 21.

Interquartile Range (IQR):
The interquartile range is the range between the first quartile (Q1) and the third quartile (Q3).

- First, sort the data:
[tex]\[ -4, -3, -3, -1, 0, 1, 4, 11, 12, 17 \][/tex]
- Find Q1 (the 25th percentile) and Q3 (the 75th percentile):
- Q1 (25th percentile): [tex]\[ Q1 = -1 \][/tex]
- Q3 (75th percentile): [tex]\[ Q3 = 10.75 \][/tex]

- Calculate the IQR:
[tex]\[ \text{IQR} = Q3 - Q1 = 10.75 - (-1) = 10.75 + 1 = 11.75 \][/tex]

So, the interquartile range (IQR) of the data is 11.75.

### 4. Finding the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) and Outliers

Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD):
The mean absolute deviation is the average of the absolute deviations from the median of the data set.

- Compute the median of the data set. For data sorted as:
[tex]\[ -4, -3, -3, -1, 0, 1, 4, 11, 12, 17 \][/tex]
The median (the middle value) is the average of the 5th and 6th values:
[tex]\[ \text{Median} = \frac{0 + 1}{2} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \][/tex]

- Calculate the absolute deviations from the median (0.5):
[tex]\[ \left| -4 - 0.5 \right|, \left| -3 - 0.5 \right|, \left| -3 - 0.5 \right|, \left| -1 - 0.5 \right|, \left| 0 - 0.5 \right|, \left| 1 - 0.5 \right|, \left| 4 - 0.5 \right|, \left| 11 - 0.5 \right|, \left| 12 - 0.5 \right|, \left| 17 - 0.5 \right| \][/tex]

These deviations are:
[tex]\[ 4.5, 3.5, 3.5, 1.5, 0.5, 0.5, 3.5, 10.5, 11.5, 16.5 \][/tex]

- Compute the mean of these absolute deviations:
[tex]\[ \text{MAD} = \frac{4.5 + 3.5 + 3.5 + 1.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 3.5 + 10.5 + 11.5 + 16.5}{10} = 5.6 \][/tex]

Thus, the mean absolute deviation (MAD) for the data is 5.6.

Outliers:
To determine the outliers, we use the IQR method with a multiplier of 1.5.

- Calculate the lower bound:
[tex]\[ \text{Lower Bound} = Q1 - 1.5 \times \text{IQR} = -1 - 1.5 \times 11.75 = -1 - 17.625 = -18.625 \][/tex]

- Calculate the upper bound:
[tex]\[ \text{Upper Bound} = Q3 + 1.5 \times \text{IQR} = 10.75 + 1.5 \times 11.75 = 10.75 + 17.625 = 28.375 \][/tex]

Any data point outside the range of \([-18.625, 28.375]\) is considered an outlier.

Upon examination, none of the data points fall outside this range, so there are no outliers in the given data set.

### Summary:
- The range of the data is 21.
- The interquartile range (IQR) is 11.75.
- The mean absolute deviation (MAD) is 5.6.
- There are no outliers in the data set.
