.28 Pulling wood apart. Exercise 1.46 (page 45) gives the breaking strengths of 20 pieces of Douglas fir. au WOOD (a) Give the five-number summary of the distribution of breaking strengths. (b) Here is a stemplot of the data rounded to the nearest hundred pounds. The stems are thousands of pounds, and the leaves are hundreds of pounds. 23 0 24 11 25 26 5 27 287 29 30259 31 399 32 033677 3310237
The stemplot shows that the distribution is skewed to the left. Does the five-number summary show the skew? Remember that only a graph gives a clear pic- ture of the shape of a distribution.
