Construct a histogram. Make five to six intervals. Sketch the graph using a ruler and pencil and scale the axes.
Calculate the following values.
= _____
s = _____
Are the data discrete or continuous? How do you know?
In complete sentences, describe the shape of the histogram.
Are there any potential outliers? List the value(s) that could be outliers. Use a formula to check the end values to determine if they are potential outliers.
Analyze the data
Determine the following values.
Min = _____

IQR = _____
Construct a box plot of data
What does the shape of the box plot imply about the concentration of data? Use complete sentences.
Using the box plot, how can you determine if there are potential outliers?
How does the standard deviation help you to determine concentration of the data and whether or not there are potential outliers?
What does the
IQR represent in this problem?
Show your work to find the value that is 1.5 standard deviations:
In biology, a pathogen (Greek: πάθος pathos "suffering", "passion" and -γενής -genēs "producer of") in the oldest and broadest sense, is anything that can produce disease. A pathogen may also be referred to as an infectious agent, or simply a germ.
