Question

calculate the following:

a) Sort the data in ascending (increasing) order.

b) Use the sorted data above to find the range of the data set.

c) Give the Five-Number Summary.

d) Check for outliers. Calculate left fence and right fence, and graph them as vertical dashed lines on your box plot.

e) Construct a box (and whiskers) plot, using the five-number summary.

f) If there are outliers, make a Modified Box Plot.

g) Compute the mean, mode and standard deviation for the data set.

Since all the data values below are whole numbers, round Measures of Center & Variation to one decimal place.

3. Consider the following data set: a small animal veterinarian reviews her records for the day and notes that she has seen 8 pets with the following weights (in pounds)

16 18 22 19 3 21 17 20

Expert Solution
Step 1

given data set

8,16,18,22,19,3,21,17,20

a) sort the data in ascending order

3, 8, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22

b) find the range of the data set

lowest value =3

highest value =22

range=22-3         =19
