Page 7: Descriptive Statistics

Does the histogram of this data appear to be

•Skewed right?•Skewed left?•Symmetrical?

Page 8: Descriptive Statistics

Are their any potential outliers (values that do not seem to “fit” the rest of the data)?

•Are there any values 1.5*IQR above Q3?•Are there any values 1.5*IQR below Q1?

Potential Outliers require further investigation.

Page 9: Descriptive Statistics

1.5*IQR = 1.5*(Q3-Q1) = 1.5*(24-4) = 30

•Are there any values 1.5*IQR above Q3?Q3 + 1.5*IQR = 24 + 30 = 54NO. The largest value is 54.

•Are there any values 1.5*IQR below Q1?Q1 – 1.5*IQR = 4 – 30 = - 26NO. The smallest value is 4.
