a. Describe the shape of the distribution. Identify any clusters, gaps, peaks, or outliers.

b. Describe the center and spread of the distribution. Justify your response based on the shape of the distribution. ​

(NOT A MULTIPLE CHOICE)

Answer 1

a) shape of distribution: symmetric/unimodal, clusters: none, gaps: none, peaks: 20, outliers: none.

b) The center and spread of distribution is based solely on the median of the data because it is based on a data point that is actually included in the population or sample. The median in this data is 20 because it is between the first and third quartile.
