According to the 1.5 IQR rule for outliers, how many low outliers are there in the data set?

Step 2:

From step 1, we can see that the number of low outliers in the data set is given as :

$\begin{gathered} Q_1\text{ - 1. 5 (IQR)} \\ \text{where IQR ( Interquartile Range) = Q}_3-Q_1=\text{ 5 -2 = 3} \\ Q_1=\text{ 2} \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} Q_1-1.5\text{ (IQR)} \\ =\text{ 2-1.5(3)} \\ =\text{ 2 - 4. 5} \\ =\text{ -2.5} \end{gathered}$

CONCLUSION:

The final answer=

$-2.5$
