Question
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?

- A County Board of Supervisors has appointed an urban planning committee to evaluate proposed community development projects. The committee is analyzing, among other things, data on household incomes in two cities within the county. They have collected data on the income of 80 households in each of the two cities. The histograms below show the distributions of the two sets of incomes (in thousands of dollars). Each histogram shows household income on the horizontal axis and number of households on the vertical axis. The means and standard deviations for the data sets are also given.
