The data set below contains the total cost (in dollars) of attending 26 different professional sporting events in a recent year. Complete parts (a) and (b). 240 210 172 170 226 182 186 224 202 255 206 210 274 187 227 157 242 200 257 266 218 167 217 195 193 207 a. Decide whether the data appear to be approximately normally distributed by comparing data characteristics to theoretical properties. Based on the theoretical properties of the normal distribution, do the data appear to be approximately normally distributed? O A. No, because the distribution of the data is significantly skewed to the right. O B. No, because the distribution of the data is significantly skewed to the left. O C. Yes, the distribution of the data appears to closely resemble a normal distribution. O D. No, because there are a significant number of outliers. b. Decide whether the data appear to be approximately normally distributed by using the descriptive statistics you computed with a statistical application (like Analysis Toolpak, StatPlus, or StatCrunch). What is the best description of the given data based on the descriptive statistics? O A. The data are skewed to the right since the IQR is nearly 1.33 standard deviations. O B. The data appear to be normally distributed since mean and median are nearly the same. O C. The data are skewed to the left because the range is 6 times the standard deviation
