bookChallenge: Detect and Interpret Outliers

Task

Swipe to start coding

Given a dataset of daily step counts, your goal is to identify outliers using both boxplots and the IQR (Interquartile Range) method, then provide an interpretation of what these outliers might represent.

  • Calculate the first (Q1) and third (Q3) quartiles of the steps data.
  • Compute the IQR as the difference between Q3 and Q1.
  • Determine the lower and upper bounds for outliers using 1.5 * IQR below Q1 and above Q3.
  • Identify the indices of the outlier values in the steps data.
  • Return the indices of the outlier values.
  • Print the outlier values.
  • Print a brief interpretation of what these outliers might represent.
