Cigarette smoking involves tar, carbon monoxide, and nicotine (measured in milligrams). The first two are definitely not good for a person's health, and the last ingredient can cause addiction. Use the data in the table above to make a stem-and-leaf display for milligrams of tar per cigarette smoked. (Enter NONE in any unused answer blanks.) Are there any outliers? A. Yes, 1.0 may be an outlier. B. No, there are no outliers. C. Yes, 29.8 may be an outlier.arrow_forward

- A large, multi-company construction workers union is gathering data on the number of workplace injuries that occurred last year. It gathers the number of injuries from 20 randomly selected companies among the hundreds of construction companies at which its members work. The data are provided below. Use Excel and the QUARTILE.INC function to construct a box and whisker plot for the dataset. What is the value of the median? Round your answer to one decimal place.

By deleting some low values and high values, the trimmed mean is more resistant. To find the 10% trimmed mean for a data set, first arrange the data in order, then delete the bottom 10% of the values and delete the top 10% of the values, then calculate the mean of the remaining values. Use axial loads (pounds) of aluminum cans listed below for cans that are 0.0111 in. thick.
