Question:
56. The amount of aluminum contamination (ppm) in plastic of a certain type was determined for a sample of 26 plastic specimens, resulting in the following data (“The Lognormal Distribution for Modeling Quality Data when the Mean Is Near Zero,” J. of Quality Technology, 1990: 105–110):
30 30 60 63 70 79 87 90 101 102 115 118 119 119 120 125 140 145 172 182 183 191 222 244 291 511 Construct a boxplot that shows outliers, and comment on its features.
57. A sample of 20 glass bottles of a particular type was selected, and the internal pressure strength of each bottle was determined. Consider the following partial sample information:
median 202.2 lower fourth 196.0 upper fourth 216.8 Three smallest observations 125.8 188.1 193.7 Three largest observations 221.3 230.5 250.2
a. Are there any outliers in the sample? Any extreme outliers?
b. Construct a boxplot that shows outliers, and comment on any interesting features.
