- Are there any outliers in the data? Use an appropriate numerical test involving the IQR to identify outliers, if any, and clearly state your conclusion.
- If a data value is identified as an outlier, what should be done about it?
- Are any data values further than two standard deviations away from the mean? In some situations, statisticians may use this criteria to identify data values that are unusual, compared to the other data values. (Note that this criteria is most appropriate to use for data that is mound-shaped and symmetric, rather than for skewed data.)
- Do parts a and c of this problem give the same answer?
- Examine the shape of the data. Which part, a or c, of this question gives a more appropriate result for this data?
- Based on the shape of the data which is the most appropriate measure of center for this data: mean, median, or mode?

Figure 4.2 also allows us to see the link between the probability density function and probability and area. We also see in Figure 4.2 the skew of the binomial distribution when p is not equal to 0.5. In Figure 4.2 the distribution is skewed right as a result of μ = n p = 1. 25 μ = n p = 1. 25 because p = 0. 25 p = 0. 25.
