Answer 2

Explanation:

We are given that Mickey Mantle played for the New York Yankees for 18 years. Here is the number of home runs by Mantle per year: 13, 23, 21, 27, 37, 52, 34, 42, 31, 40, 54, 30, 15, 35, 19, 23, 22, 18

To find out 5 number summary, first let the data be arranged in ascending order:

{13, 15,18,19, 21, 22, 23, 23, 27, 30,31, 34,35, 37,40,42, 52,54}

Minimum: 13

Quartile Q1: 21

Median: 28.5 (average of 9th and 10th)

Quartile Q3: 37

Maximum: 54

Whisker plot would represent this data in a better way
