ANSWER:Step 1 of 8
a) Using the software utility, we can determine the mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and count of the data. The table below displays the outcomes.
In order to verify the distribution, we can also generate a histogram, the graph will look like as shown below.
From this plot we will see that the data for IBI is skewed to the lower end.
