Grouped Data
1) mean = 32.2, std. dev. = 2) mean = 10.7, std. dev. = 9.6
11.1
3) mean = 15.6, std. dev. = 4) mean = 21.1, std. dev. =
10.8 11.7
5) mean = 44.0, std. dev. = 6) mean = 80.5, std. dev. = 8.1
10.6
7) mean = 36.8, std. dev. = 7.6 8) mean = 31.6, std. dev. = 5.2

Histogram Analysis
1 minimum = 18, maximum = 60, skewed left, one peak at 45,one gap
) between 24 and 30, no extreme values
2 minimum = 12, maximum = 108, skewed left, two peaks at 54 and
) 90, one gap between 24 and 36, no extreme values
3 minimum = 0, maximum = 500, skewed right, one peak at 25,
)
3 gaps: between 100 and 150, between 200 and 250, and between
300 and 400. Since the last gap is twice as large, values between
400 and 500 are extreme.
4 minimum = 15, maximum = 40, skewed right, two peaks at 27.5
) and 37.5 (but the second peak is barely a peak), no gaps or extreme
values.

Outliers and Influential Observations


1) outlier near (12.9, 24.4), influential observation near (9.9, 16.1)
2) outlier near (112, 86), influential observation near (129, 121)
3) outlier near (53, 88), influential observations near (68, 108) and (76,
111)
