Median $   (to  decimals)

b. Compare the mean and median values for these data. What does this indicate about the distribution of household income data?

The mean household income is - Select your answer -largerlessItem 3 than the median household income. This indicates that the distribution of household income is - Select your answer -positivelynegativelyItem 4 skewed.

c. Compute the range and standard deviation for these household income data.

Range $   (to the nearest whole number)
Standard deviation $   (to  decimals)

d. Compute the first and third quartiles for these household income data.

First Quartile $   (to  decimals)
Third Quartile $   (to  decimals)

e. How many values would be considered outliers are in these data? If an amount is zero, enter "0".
