• The number of campsites at the parks is bimodal around 0 and 100; and is skewed to the left. The number of campsites range from 0 to about 200 with several outliers at approximately 280, 400, and 480.

• The number of campsites at the parks is unimodal around 0 and skewed to the right. The number of campsites range from 0 to about 160 with several outliers at approximately 280, 400, and 480.

• The number of campsites at the parks is unimodal around 0 and symmetric. The number of campsites range from 0 to about 160 with several outliers at approximately 280, 400, and 480.

• The number of campsites at the parks is unimodal around 0 and skewed to the right. The number of campsites range from 0 to about 500 campsites.

The deltoid strength data set has ______.

• no outliers

• only a high outlier

Match the following types of plots:

• Box Plot

• A graphical representation of

  the five-number summary (minimum, first

  quartile, median, third quartile, maximum).

• Stem and Leaf Plot

• The height of each bar shows

  the number or proportion of observations that

  fall within the interval corresponding to that

  bar. Altering the interval widths can change the

  appearance of the histogram.

• Dot Plot

• Each data value is split

  into the first digit or digits and the last digit.

• Histogram

• Examples of bar graphs for one categorical variable, broken down by categories of another

  categorical variable.

• Segmented Bar Plot

• Represents each observation by

  a dot, with the position on the horizontal

  axis corresponding to the data value of that

  observation, with nearly identical values

  stacked on top of each other.

When the majority of the data is to the right of the graph and there are outliers to the left, the graph is ​ (a)   . Therefore the mean is ​ (b)   the median.

• left-skew

• below

• right-skew

• symmetric

• equal to
