Solved: M&Ms In we drew a histogram of the weights of M&Ms

QUESTION:

In Problem 27 from Section 3.1, we drew a histogram of the weights of M&Ms and found that the distribution is symmetric. Draw a boxplot of these data. Use the boxplot and quartiles to confirm the distribution is symmetric. For convenience, the data are displayed again.
