Question:
Calculate/determine the three measures of center for the data. Are the measures the same or different? What does this tell you about the shape of your data?
Calculate the three measures of variability for the data.
Give the range of values that are within 1 standard deviation of the mean. Does this result support either Chebyshev’s Theorem or the Empirical Rule –whichever applies for your data? Justify your response.
Calculate the coefficient of skewness for the data. Does the coefficient of skewness support your interpretation of shape from question 1? Explain.
Perform calculations to find the quartiles for this data. Based on the quartiles, would you describe the data as symmetrical or skewed? Justify your answer.
