We are given the set of data which is

25, 34, 46, 37, 33, 42, 40, 37, 34, 49, 73, 46, 45, 45, 5

Two of which are outliers

The outliers are

73, and 5

The new set of data is

25, 34, 46, 37, 33, 42, 40, 37, 34, 49, 46, 45, 45

The details of the box plot would be

min = 25

max = 49

mean = 36.46

median = 40

Q1 = 34

Q2 = 40

Q3 = 45

IQR = 11
