The data set 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, v2,\ 4,\ 5,\ 7,\ 8,\ 9,\ 11,\ v has vv as its largest value. Using Q1Q_1 and Q3Q_3 as the medians of the lower and upper halves, and calling a value an outlier when it is more than 1.5×IQR1.5\times\text{IQR} above Q3Q_3, what is the smallest whole number vv that is an outlier?
