Answer :

Just find the semi-quartile range, which is 0.5 times the interquartile range, then find Quartile 3 and Quartile 1, since Quartile 3 is the middle of the upper half, and Quartile 1 is the middle of the lower half. Then the IQR is Q3 - Q1, and then any outlier is anything that is 1.5 times the IQR, so to find the outlier for Q1 all you have to do is to use the equation Q1 - (1.5)(IQR), and then if you want to find the outlier for Q3 all you have to do is use the equation Q3 + (1.5)(IQR), and then you can also state the outliers by creating dots outside given data set or look out for any numbers that are less than the number you get from the equation Q1 - (1.5)(IQR) and greater than the number that you get from the equation Q3 + (1.5)(IQR). Pay close attention to your data set to help you find the outlier. Do this for all three of the box and whisker plots, and then you will be able to find which team would win. Good Luck.
