This tells us that most of the flight attendants in this group spend a similar number of nights (between and ) interstate per month. A few stay away more than this and a very few stay away a lot more. a Symmetric b This tells us that there are few low-weight dogs and few heavy dogs but most dogs have a weight in the range of to kg. a Symmetric b Most students receive about $ (give or take $). a Positively skewed b i ii % a Positively skewed b Since most of the data is linked to the lower stems, this suggests that some students do little exercise, but those students who exercise, do quite a bit each week. This could represent the students in teams or in training squads. a Club A: negatively skewed Club B: positively skewed b Since Club A has more members of its bowling team at the higher stems as compared to Club B; you could say Club A has the older team as compared to Club B. c i Club A: members over years of age ii Club B: members over years of age. a Cars sold Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Month b Positively skewed c June, July and November represent the months with the highest number of sales. d This is when the end of financial year sales occur.
