  1. Review the types of graphical displays we can create for quantitative data sets in <\/span>Chapter 3: Displaying and Summarizing Quantitative Data<\/a>. Now create an appropriate graphical display where you\u2019ll be able to see the shape of the distribution. Label the axes and include a title.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Identify the appropriate distribution shape for the above data (select one from the three choices below). Explain how you determined it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

                                          UNIFORM                     BELL-SHAPED                          SKEWED ( mention Left or Right)<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Based on the distribution shape, which of the following would be the appropriate measure of center to use to represent the <\/span>average weight gained <\/span><\/em>? Explain why.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

                                            MEAN                           MEDIAN                                   MODE<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Calculate the <\/span>average <\/span><\/em>weight gained during the 16-month period. You must calculate the measure you selected in #3.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. From the display you have created, does the data contain a possible outlier? If yes, what is the value that appears to be an outlier and how can you tell? If no, explain how you can tell.<\/li>\n
          2. Calculate the following and show your calculations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              \n
            • IQR:<\/li>\n
            • Lower Fence:                 <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                \n
              • Upper Fence: <\/li>\n
              • Is the value noted in #5 above an outlier? Explain.<\/li>\n
              • Are there any other outliers? Explain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                 <\/p>\n
