Planetary Measurements (cont.)
Refer back to the data presented in Activity 4-6 concerning planetary measurements.
(a) Calculate the five-number summary of distance from the sun.
(b) Draw a boxplot of the distribution of distances from the sun.
(c) Would you classify this distribution as roughly symmetric, skewed left, or skewed right?
Activity 4-6
The following table lists the average distance from the sun (in millions of miles), diameter (in miles), and period of revolution around the sun (in Earth days) for the nine planets of our solar system.

(a) Calculate (by hand) the median value of each of these variables.
(b) If a classmate uses the (n + 1)/2 formula and obtains a median diameter of 88,838 miles, what do you think would be the most likely cause of his/her mistake?
