Refer to Exercise 92. Here are a boxplot and some numerical summaries of the birthrate data:

10 20 30 40 50 Birthrate (per 1000 individuals)


a. Explain why the median and IQR would be a better choice for summarizing the center and variability of the distribution of birthrates in African countries than the mean and standard deviation.

b. Identify an aspect of the distribution that the dotplot in Exercise 92 reveals that the boxplot does not.


Exercise 92.
