Guinea pig survival times Here are the survival times (in days) of 72 guinea pigs after they were injected with infectious bacteria in a medical experiment. 49 Survival times, whether of machines under stress or cancer patients after treatment, usually have distributions that are skewed to the right. 43 45 53 56 56 57 58 66 67 73 74 79 80 80 81 81 81 82 83 83 84 88 89 91 91 92 92 97 99 99 100 100 101 102 102 102 103 104 107 108 109 113 114 118 121 123 126 128 137 138 139 144 145 147 156 162 174 178 179 184 191 198 211 214 243 249 329 380 403 511 522 598 a. Make a histogram of the data. Does it show the expected right skew? b. Now make a boxplot of the data. c. Compare the histogram from part (a) with the boxplot from part (b). Identify an aspect of the distribution that one graph reveals but the other does not.
