Altman and Bland report the survival times for patients with active hepatitis, half treated with prednisone and half receiving no treatment.7 The data that follow are adapted from their data for those treated with prednisone. The survival times are recorded to the nearest month:
8     87      127   147
11   93      133   148
52   97      139    157
57   109    142   162
65   120    144   165
a. Look at the data. Can you guess the approximate shape of the data distribution?
b. Construct a relative frequency histogram for the data. What is the shape of the distribution?
c. Are there any outliers in the set? If so, which survival times are unusually short?
