Min: 13.5 Q1: 32 Median: 39 Q3: 43.5 Max: 48.5   Question: would you expect the mean midterm score of all students who took the midterm to be higher or lower than the median? How? (My question: how do you find the mean from this five-number summary? Is it possible?)   Question: Whare the best measure for the center and spread of this distribution? Why? (My question: Would the median and quartile range be better to measure for the center?) Also, how do I construct the boxplot from the information in the five-number summary? I know IQR is 11.5; the upper outlier boundary is 60.75 and the lower outlier boundary is 15.5. Also, the second lowest score was 24 points is already given.
