Problem 5
The data set ![$[6, 19, 33, 33, 39, 41, 41, 43, 51, 57]$](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/c/1/f/c1f79e4f4be0f8520c3451e684ea03f3f42d9817.png)
has median 
, first quartile 
, and third quartile 
. An outlier in a data set is a value that is more than 
times the interquartile range below the first quartle (
) or more than times the interquartile range above the third quartile (
), where the interquartile range is defined as 
. How many outliers does this data set have?
