Outliers are determined by calculating the interquartile range (IQR) and then finding values that fall below Q1 - 1.5*IQR or above Q3 + 1.5*IQR. Without specific data, we can't calculate this exactly, but the question implies that there are outliers only at the upper end, suggesting that there are values significantly higher than the rest of the data set according to the five-number summary.
