1. # Stock Dollar Value 1 CBS 11.46 2 T 17.48 3 NI 27.31 4 MRO 27.64 Part 1 - Mutual Funds (Measures of Center and Spread, Boxplots) (Questions 1-7) The values of individual stocks in the stock market can vary wildly. For that reason, investors usually purchase more than one kind of stock to balance out their risk. Some people are comfortable choosing their own blend of stocks. Other people prefer to invest in pre-bundled combinations of individual stocks called mutual funds. In this portion of the project, you will look at two mutual funds, each identified by its stock exchange abbreviation: LEXCX (composed of 22 stocks) and DIA (composed of 30 stocks). LEXCX Mutual Fund The dataset on the left displays the stock symbol and dollar value of each of the 22 stocks in the LEXCX mutual fund. For your convenience, the stocks are numbered in the order of their ascending value. Use the dataset to complete the EXACT five-number summary of the dollar values of the LEXCX mutual fund. Do not round your results even if they go beyond two decimal places. For any calculated values, show your work in the table along with your answer.
