To understand better the effects of exercise ang aging on various circulatory functions, the article “Cardiac Output in Male Middle-Aged Runners” (Journal of Sports Medicine [1982]: 17-22) presented data from a study of 21 middle-aged male runners. The following data set gives values of oxygen capacity values (in milliliters per kilogram per minute) while the participants pedaled at a specified rate on a bicycle ergometer:                         12.81    14.95    15.83    15.97    17.90    18.27    18.34                         19.82    19.94    20.62    20.88    20.93    20.98    20.99                         21.15    22.16    22.24    23.16    23.56    35.78    36.73 Compute the median

4.59. To understand better the effects of exercise ang aging on various circulatory functions, the article “Cardiac Output in Male Middle-Aged Runners” (Journal of Sports Medicine [1982]: 17-22) presented data from a study of 21 middle-aged male runners. The following data set gives values of oxygen capacity values (in milliliters per kilogram per minute) while the participants pedaled at a specified rate on a bicycle ergometer:

                        12.81    14.95    15.83    15.97    17.90    18.27    18.34

                        19.82    19.94    20.62    20.88    20.93    20.98    20.99

                        21.15    22.16    22.24    23.16    23.56    35.78    36.73

  1. Compute the median and the quartiles for this data set.
  2. What is the value of the interquartile range? Are there outliers in this data set?
  3. Draw a modified boxplot, and comment on the interesting feature of the plot.
