1st Question:

Hazardous waste: Following is a list of the number of hazardous waste sites in a sample of states of the United States in a recent year. The list has been sorted into numerical order.

0 6 9 9 11 12 12 12 13 14
14 15 15 16 19 19 20 21 25 26
29 30 32 32 38 40 48 49 97 116

It is asking me to find this in 4 parts.

The first part wants me to find the first and third quartiles

The second part wants me to find the median of these data

The third part wants me to find the lower and upper outlier boundaries.

The fourth part asks if "there are any outliers? and if so list them. Otherwise, you just say none.

2nd Question:

Hazardous waste: Following is a list of the number of hazardous waste sites in states in a recent year. The list has been sorted into numerical order. Construct a boxplot for these data. The median is 19, Q1 is 12 and Q3 is 33.

0 1 2 4 4 5 7 8 8 8
9 9 12 13 13 13 14 14 14 14
16 16 16 17 19 19 20 21 22 22
23 24 26 26 29 30 32 33 37 42
43 48 49 50 59 61 78 90 92 116

It wants me to construct a box plot for the given data (including any outliers if there is). I tried looking at the example and it just doesn't make sense to me.

3rd Question:

Lunch break: In a recent survey of 662 working Americans ages 25-34 the average weekly amount spent on lunch as $45.21 with standard deviation $2.66. The weekly amounts are approximately bell-shaped.

The first wants me to "estimate the percentage of amounts that were less than $39.89. Round the answer to one decimal place.

Approximately blank% of the amounts were less than $39.89.
