24. On-Time Arrivals. The Air Travel Consumer Report is a monthly product of the Department of Transportation's Office of Avi- ation Enforcement and Proceedings. The report is designed to assist consumers with information on the quality of services provided by the airlines.

Identify the classes for grouping these data, using cutpoint group- ing with classes of equal width 5 and a first lower class cutpoint of 60. b. Identify the class midpoints of the classes found in part (a). c. Construct frequency and relative-frequency distributions of the data based on your classes from part (a). d. Draw a frequency histogram of the data based on your classes from part (a). e. Round each observation to the nearest whole number, and then construct a stem-and-leaf diagram with two lines per stem. f. Obtain the greatest…

An article gives the price-an estimated average for a 6-ounce can or a 7.06-ounce pouch-for 14 different brands of water- packed light tuna, based on prices paid nationally in supermarkets. 1.00 1.91 1.23 0.87 0.67 0.53 1.41 1.12 0.61 0.66 0.70 0.61 0.60 0.68 (a) Find the average price for the 14 different brands of tuna. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) $ (b) Find the median price for the 14 different brands of tuna. $ (c) Based on your findings in parts (a) and (b), do you think that the distribution of prices is skewed? Explain. More information is needed to determine skewness. O Since the mean is larger than the median, the distribution is skewed to the right. O Since the median is larger than the mean, the distribution is skewed to the left. O Since the mean and median are equal, the distribution is not skewed.
