Question:

2.113 More hurricane damage Refer to the previous exercise about hurricane damage and the histogram shown there.

b. How would removing the costliest hurricane (Katrina in 2005, shown on the far right in the histogram) from the data set affect the (i) mean, (ii) median, (iii) standard deviation, (iv) IQR, and (v) 10th percentile?
