A.  Find the range, variance and standard deviation for the second sample students.


B.  Find the five number summary for this sample and determine if there are any outliers. State the outlier values if they exist. Show your outlier calculations (method from section 3.3).

C.  Explain why the average for the second sample is a better representation of the population of students commuting to SCC. Which statistic from above proves this is the better value?

D.  Use Chebyshev’s Theorem to find the smallest interval centered on the mean that contains at least 88.9% of the data values for the second sample. Then determine the actual percentage of data contained with the interval.
