a) Sketch a histogram of these data.
b) Find the mean and standard deviation for the number of credit hours.
c) Find the median and IQR for the number of credit hours.
d) Is it more appropriate to use the mean and standard deviation or the median and IQR to summarize
theses data? Explain.
8. Suppose that the student taking 22 credit hours in the data set in the previous question was actually taking
28 credit hours instead of 22 (so we would replace the 22 in the data set with 28). Indicate whether
changing the number of credit hours for that student would make each of the following summary statistics
increase, decrease, or stay about the same:
a. mean
b. median
c. range
d. IQR
e. standard deviation

10. There are 45 high school juniors who earn $80 weekly and 140 seniors earn $110 weekly at their job.
What is the mean of the combined group of juniors and seniors?
11. A school system employs teachers at salaries between $30,000 and $68,000. If the school board and
teachers’ union agree to a flat raise of $1200, what will this do to the:
a) mean?
b) median?
c) mode?
d) range?
e) standard deviation?
12. A data set consists of 20 values that are fairly close together. Another value is included, but this new value
is an outlier. How is the standard deviation affected by the outlier (No effect, small effect, large effect)?
Explain.
13. The following data set shows the test grades of three Statistics classes. Create three box plots for analysis
(Stack them one after another using one scale to compare). Compare and Contrast the three classes. Do
any outliers exist?
