Solution

Mean = Sum of Observations/Number of Observations = 317/15 = 21.133

----------------------------------------

5 Number Statistics:

1. Minimum = 3

2. First Quartile = 6.5

3. Median = 13

4. Third Quartile = 34

5. Maximum = 56

------------------------------------------

3) Mean = 21.1333

Median = 13

Since, Mean > Median, the distribution is right skewed.
