1. Using R, I found the five number summary. The numbers are the following:
Min.
1st Qu.
Median
Mean
3rd Qu.
Max.
9.00
19.50
22.50
23.33
26.50
46.00
This data suggests a skewed distribution because the maximum of the value
of the data is much more spread out from the mean that minimum is.

Using R, I created the following histogram for the city mileage data:

10

Histogram of the Average City Mileage Ratings

Number of Cars

10

20

30
Mileage

40

50

400

600

800

1000

1200

1400

1600

1800

The Histogram seems to be skewed right as we can see that there are bigger
but fewer in frequency values to the right of the histogram.

Using R, I found the value of the median to be 751.5, the value of the mean is
827.7917, the value of the variance is 116789, and finally the standard
deviation is 341.7441.
The first thing that this data tells us is that 751.5 is the middle of our
distribution and so there are as many larger values than 751.5 as there are
smaller.
The second thing is that 827.7917 is the average mileage for a 1992 model
car.
Third, we know from this data that 341.7441 id the value that tells us how
much the city mileage data is spread out.

Using R I constructed the following box and whiskers plot for the data:

This picture clearly shows that there is an outlier close to 1800. Perhaps the
following adjusted picture can help us see this box in a clearer way.

2. Using R, I made the following q-q plot of the HPT data:

1000

400

Quantiles of Time to complete a HPT

Normal QQ Plot

Quantiles from a standard normal distribution

As we can see from this picture, some the middle data seems to be more or
less normally distributes as it follows the straight line. When we look at the
smaller and larger values however, we see that the data deviates from the
line and so we can deduce that the smaller quantiles and larger quantiles of
our data are bigger than those of the normal distribution.

Using R I transformed the data in three ways and made q-q plots for each
resulting data:

20
15
10

Quantiles of The square root of HPT

25

Normal QQ Plot

Quantiles from a standard normal distribution

This picture shows that if instead of using the data, we use the square root of values
of the data as our new data, then the distribution of our new data deviates even
more from a normal distribution than did our original data because most quantiles
of the new distribution do not fall on, or closer to the red line.

Quantiles of The Logarithm of HPT

Normal QQ Plot

The comments on the previous picture apply to this one too as the result is almost
the same.

0.010

Quantiles of The Inverse of HPT

0.015

0.020

Normal QQ Plot

Quantiles from a standard normal distribution

This transformation is the one that seems to result in a more normally distributed
data. As we can observe on this picture, all the quantiles fall near or on the red line
and so we can assume that this data is more or less normally distributed.
