Suppose you have access to data from a skewed distribution.
Answer the following true/false questions.
A.) A five-number summary is typically better at representing the center and spread of the distribution than the mean and standard deviation.
B.) It is not possible for the standard deviation to be larger than the median
C.) If we add 100 to every point in our data set the IQR will change, but the standard deviation will remain the same.
D.) If we add 100 to every point in our data set the median would change, but the standard deviation will remain the same.

Do this assignment:
Collect 50 or more quantitative data.
a.) Using StatCrunch, compute the following five summary
statistics:
1. Sample mean
2. median sample
3. standard deviation
4. range
5. interquartile range (IQR).
b.) Then, construct a histogram. You do not have to construct a
histogram with sliders.
