The following are 13 observations on burst strength (lb/in2)
obtained from a test on a certain type of closure weld. 5900, 6200,
6700, 7200, 7200, 7300, 7300, 7300, 7400, 7400, 7600, 8200, 8300 a.
Give the five–number summary of this distribution.
b. Are there any suspected outliers in the data? If so, which
values? (Remember to use the IQR
formula for determining the existence of outliers.)
c. From your answer above, create a boxplot for the data and
mark/label all points. If there are
outliers, remember to use a * and the first non-outlier data point instead of the minimum or
maximum
d. Based on your boxplot, comment on the symmetry and skew of the
dataset. e. What, if anything, can you say about the variation
(spread) of the dataset?
