Spss Boxplot Outliers. 25th and 75th percentiles 1 34 and 4 91 in comparison to. 25th and 75th percentiles 76 and 5 31.
Spss 18 analyze descriptive statistics frequencies statistics quartiles. In addition outliers and extreme values are displayed. However if there are no outliers and extreme values the final lines form the maximum and minimum.
