How many observations are less than 41?

d) 15
Expert Solution
Step 1

For a considered data set, the five-number summary essentially explains the descriptive statistics of the observed values. In the five-number summary, the statistics (or ordered statistics) describe the positions, range, variability, and shape (in terms of skewed shape) of the considered distribution of observations. The five-number summary is given in the following order:

(Lowest observed value, First quartile, Median, Third Quartile, Highest observed value)
