3. Make a vector using the data set of the highest points (in feet) in each US state: 2413, 20310, 12637, 2753, 14505, 14440, 2379, 447, 345, 4784, 13803, 12668, 1235, 1257, 1671, 4041, 4145, 535, 5270, 3360, 3489, 1979, 2302, 807, 1772, 12807, 5427, 13147, 6288, 1803, 13167, 5343, 6684, 3508, 1549, 4975, 11249, 3213, 811, 3560, 7244, 6643, 8571, 13534, 4395, 5729, 14417, 4863, 1951, 13809 a. Without graphing the data, does this data set have skewness? Why or why not? If it does, is the skewness positive or negative? Explain your reasoning. b. Create a histogram of the data set to check your answer in part (a). Did the skewness depicted align with your answer? C. If you change the number of bins from the histogram in part (b) to 15 bins, what additional information do you gain? (hint use ?hist to get more info) d. When comparing the histograms from parts (b) and (c), what does this tell you about the importance of using the "right" number of bins? Explain
