a) Use either SAS or R to construct a histogram and a box plot for this data set.
b) Briefly describe the shape of the distribution.
c) Based on (b), is the data set best described by the mean and standard deviation, or by the five number summary? (Similar to a question on the Section 2.7-2.8 Self Test)
d) Use SAS or R to calculate the set of statistics you chose in (c).(Remember to include a copy of the code you used to find the answers as part of your homework).
