Outliers Effects
This summary statistic (the average) is heavily pulled or distorted when an extreme high or low value is added to a dataset
What is the mean?
These are the two appropriate summary statistics to use when a distribution is symmetric and bell-shaped.
What are the mean and standard deviation (or MAD)?
Name all 5 components that make up a Five-Number Summary.
What are Minimum, Q1, Median, Q3, and Maximum?
How many quarters are in a football game?

I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with wind. What am I?
What is an echo?
Because it only depends on the middle position of ordered data, this middle value is resistant to outlier values.
What is the median?
These are the two appropriate summary statistics to use when a distribution is skewed or contains extreme values.
What are the median and interquartile range (IQR)?
This value in the five-number summary represents the 50th percentile or middle of the dataset.
What is the median?
This is what it's called when the team kicks the ball through the uprights and gets 3 points.

What are the median and IQR?
Calculate the IQR for a dataset with a 5-number summary of: Min = 2, Q1 = 4, Median = 5, Q3 = 7, Max = 15
What is 3?
Find Q1 and Q3 for the ordered set: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16.
What are Q1 = 5 (mean of 4 & 6) and Q3 = 13 (mean of 12 & 14)?
Scoring 2 points for the defense, this rare play occurs when an offensive player is tackled inside their own end zone.
What is a Safety
What can travel around the world while staying in the exact same corner?
What is a stamp?
In a dataset that is heavily skewed to the right, this central value will be greater.
What is the mean? (The tail on the right pulls the mean above the median).
Explain why the IQR is paired with the median for skewed data instead of the standard deviation.
What is because both the median and IQR are resistant to extreme values in the tail?
In a box plot, the "box" itself spans from which value to which value of the five-number summary?
