For the purposes of constructing modified boxplots, outliers are defined as data values that are above Q, by an amount greater than 1.5×1QR or below Q, by an amount greater than 1.5×1QR, where IQR is the interquartile range. Using this definition of outliers, find the probability that when a value is randomly selected from a normal distribution, it is an outlier. The probability that a randomly selected value taken from a normal distribution is considered an outlier is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

which of the following statistics are meaningful in a data set that contains a large outlier? Interquartile Range Median Range Variance Let A and B be data sets with the same mean. If A is right-skewed and B is normal, draw possible smoothed histograms for A and B on an axis.
18. You Explain It! Quartiles One variable that is measured by online homework systems is the amount of time a student spends on homework for each section of the text. The following is a summary of the number of minutes a student spends for each section of the text for the fall 2018 semester in a College Algebra class at Joliet Junior College. Q₁ = 42 Q₂ = 51.5 Q3 = 72.5 (a) Provide an interpretation of these results. (b) Determine and interpret the interquartile range.
When the mean and median are equal, what can be said about the shape of the distribution? a. More information should be presented if assumptions pertaining to the shape of the distribution are to be made b. When the mean is equal to the median, the shape of the distribution tends to be slightly skewed right c. When the mean is equal to the median, the shape of the distribution can be assumed relatively symmetrical d. When the mean is equal to the median, the shape of the distribution tends to be slightly skewed left
For the given data set: [5.1, 7.3, 7.5, 7.2, 7.4, and 7.1] Determine the outlier using Grubbs test. Gcrit = 1.887
In anticipation of an upcoming election, officials in Rising Falls County are looking at the distance from each voter's home to that voter's nearest polling station. Assume that the population of all such distances for voters in Rising Falls County is approximately normally distributed. An article for the newspaper Politically Sound claimed that the mean of this population is 5.15 km. You want to test this claim, so you select a random sample of 23 Rising Falls County voters, and for each you record the distance the voter lives from their nearest polling station. Follow the steps below to construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean of all the distances voters in Rising Falls County live from their nearest polling station. Then state whether the confidence interval you construct contradicts the reporter's claim. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Click on "Take Sample" to see the results for your random sample. Take Sample Sample size: П Point estimate: 0…
