7,7,8,11,13,14,16,17,18,19,19,21,24,24,26,26,27,29,31,39
a) Create a frequency table for the data (choose an appropriate interval), then Display the data using a
histogram.
b) Find the mean ___________
d) Find the standard deviation
c) Find the medain ___________
___________
e) Find the IQR ___________
f) Describe the distribution. Make sure you describe the “SOCS” ( Shape, Outliers, Center, and Spread).
Be sure to use the appropriate measures of center and spread for this data. Explain why you chose the
ones you did.
g) Are there any outliers? Show how you answered this question using the “fences” rule.
h) What would happen to your answers for parts b - e if Mr. Svihovec’s Madden Touchdown passes for
2013 (84) was added to the data. Check one correct response for each.

a. Draw two box-and-whisker plots on the same number line to represent the data.
b. Identify any data that are outliers. Show how you made the decision using the “fences” rule.
c. Describe the shape of each distribution
d. Choose the measures of center and spread that best describes both data sets. Calculate those measures
for both data sets, and use them to compare the data sets. Explain why the measures you chose are the
best representation.
d. Which conference is more equitable (that is, the pts are more alike)? Explain. Which conference

frequencies. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.
c. Among those who don’t consider themselves Liberal, what percent of them are conservatives?
d. Is there an association between gender and political preferences, according to the data? Use
conditional relative frequencies in your explanation of why or why not.
