Answer
Yes, the long travel time of 60 minutes is a suspected outlier.
Work Step by Step
The IQR rule states that an observation is a suspected outlier if that observation falls more than 1.5 IQRs above the third quartile or below the first quartile.
$(5, 10, 10, 10, 10, 12, 15, 20, 20, 25, 30, 30, 40, 40, 60)$
The median of the set is 20. The $Q_{1}$ value of the set is 10 (the average of the 4th and 5th data points, both of which are 10).
The $Q_{3}$ value of the set is 30 (the average of the 4th and 5th data points, both of which are 30).
$IQR = Q_{3}-Q_{1}$
$IQR = 30 - 20 $
$IQR = 10$
Suspected outliers are 1.5 * IQR above the third quartile or below the first quartile. Suspected outliers are 1.5 * 10, or 15, above the third quartile or below the first quartile.
Thus, outliers are 15 + $Q_{3}$ (and higher) and 15 - $Q_{1}$ (and lower).
$15 + Q_{3}$
$15 + 30 = 45$
$15 - Q_{1}$
$15 - 20 = -5$
Thus, outliers are greater than 45 and less than -5. The only value that is in the data set that is a suspected outlier is 60.
