Given Exercise gave the following weights (in pounds) for nine men on the Cambridge crew team:
188.5, 183.0, 194.5, 185.0, 214.0, 203.5, 186.0, 178.5, 109.0
Draw a boxplot of these data.
Exercise
The weights (in pounds) for nine men on the Cambridge crew team were as follows (The Independent, March 31, 1992; also Hand et al., 1994, p. 337):
188.5, 183.0, 194.5, 185.0, 214.0, 203.5, 186.0, 178.5, 109.0
The nine men are comprised of eight rowers and a coxswain, a person who does not row but gives orders to the rowers about the rowing tempo.
a. Find a five-number summary for these data.
b. Identify whether or not any data points would qualify to be marked as an outlier on a boxplot. If there are outliers, specify the values.
c. Which individual do you think is the coxswain?
