Why do you multiply the interquartile range by 1.5 to find the outlier?

By definition a quarter of the observations are below the lower quartile and a quarter are above the upper quartile. In all, therefore, half the observations lie outside the interquartile range. Many of these will be more than the inter-quartile range (IQR) away from the median (or mean) and they cannot all be outliers. So you take a larger multiple (1.5 times) of the interquartile range as the boudary for outliers.

What does IQR mean in mathematics?

It stands for the Inter-Quartile Range. Given a set of observations, put them in ascending order. The lower quartile (Q1) is the observation such that a quarter of the observations are smaller (and three quarters are at least as large). The upper quartile (Q3) is the observation such that a quarter are larger. [The middle one (Q2) is the median.] Then IQR = Q3 - Q1
