A boxplot of some data is given below. 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Based on this boxplot, which of the following are valid conclusions about the data. Select one: Data are left-skew; mean is less than the median Data are left-skew; mean is more than the median Data are left-skew; mean is about the same as the median Data are right-skew; mean is less than the median Data are right-skew; mean is more than the median Data are right-skew; mean is about the same as the median Data are roughly symmetric; mean is less than the median Data are roughly symmetric; mean is more than the median Data are roughly symmetric; mean is about the same as the median

Step 1
However, if we assume that this is a list of numbers representing a data set, we can make some conclusions. The data appears to be evenly distributed from 10 to 100 in increments of 10. This suggests that the data is roughly symmetric, not skewed to the left or Show moreā¦

The following data represent math test scores: 45, 100, 61, 65, 50, 99, 70, 80, 25, 53, 83, 70, 57, 78, 70, 72, 69 a. Find mean, median, mode b. Find range, variance, standard deviation c. Find the 5-number summary: minimum, maximum, median, 1st quartile, and 3rd quartile. d. Find the interquartile range. e. Identify outliers f. Construct a modified boxplot based on the 5-number summary. Make sure to label your axis. g. Comment on the skewness of these data (left, right or symmetric).

Consider the following data. The summary statistics, histogram, and normal quantile plot were generated using Minitab. $$\begin{array}{lllllllllllllll}27 & 27 & 27 & 28 & 28 & 28 & 28 & 28 & 28 & 29 & 29 & 29 & 29 & 29 & 29 \\29 & 29 & 29 & 29 & 30 & 30 & 30 & 30 & 30 & 30 & 30 & 30 & 30 & 30 & 30 \\30 & 31 & 31 & 31 & 31 & 31 & 31 & 31 & 31 & 32 & 32 & 32 & 32 & 33 & 33 \\ 33 & 33 & 33 & 34 & 34 & & & & & & & & & &\end{array}$$ (a) Does the histogram indicate normality for the data distribution? Explain. (b) Does the normal quantile plot indicate normality for the data distribution? Explain. (c) Compute the interquartile range and check for outliers. (d) Compute Pearson's index. Does the index value indicate skewness? (e) Using parts (a), (b), (c), and (d), would you say the data are from a normal distribution?
