Answer 1

Answer: Skewed left, no outlier

Step-by-step explanation: You use the IQR and quartile 1&3 to find the number that defines an outlier. And for this one there are none

Answer 2

The shape of the graph is "Left -skewed, Unimodal, Outlier at 2".

The distribution is left-skewed as it has longer tail on the left and the majority of the values are on the right of the graph.

The distribution is unimodal as it has only one portion of peak height.

Also, the value '2' is located far from the other values in the distribution. Hence, it is a possible outlier.

Hence, the shape of the distribution is : "Left -skewed, Unimodal, Outlier at 2".
