1. The following data represent scores of 34 students on a calculus test:
72, 59, 73, 72, 74, 74, 61, 67, 67, 72, 78, 80, 57, 56, 76, 72, 54, 65, 88, 74, 57, 83, 68, 79, 73, 71, 70, 65, 67, 76, 67, 72, 76, 53
(a) Construct a histogram fir this distribution. (I made one with a bin width of 5 and it looks fairly symmetric, unless I did it wrong?)
(b) Based on your histogram, what numerical measures of center and spread would be best to use for this distribution? Explain your choice.
the mean and standard deviation would be best to use for this distribution because the data is fairly symmetric and has no extreme values or outliers.
Is this right? What would the mean and standard deviation be (like the actual number) and mention it?
