Upper Fence Formula
The Upper Fence is a critical measure used in statistics to identify potential outliers in a dataset, especially when visualizing data with a box plot. It is calculated using the Third Quartile (Q3) and the Interquartile Range (IQR).
Formula:
Upper Fence = Q3 + 1.5 × IQR
Where:
- Q3: The Third Quartile (75th percentile) of your data.
- IQR: The Interquartile Range, which is the difference between the Third Quartile (Q3) and the First Quartile (Q1).
- IQR = Q3 - Q1
- Q1: The First Quartile (25th percentile) of your data.
Any data point above the Upper Fence is considered a potential outlier.
