Compute the mean and median. Compute the first and third quartiles. Compute the range and interquartile range. Compute the variance and standard deviation. The skewness measure for these data is 0.34. Comment on the shape of the distribution. Is it the shape you would expect? Why or why not? Do the data contain outliers?
