Now let’s examine the data about the heights of the Shamrock High School girls’ basketball team excluding the outlier.

29) What is the median height (in inches) excluding the outlier? (In other words, don’t include the outlier in the data set.)

30) What are the lower and upper quartiles excluding the outlier?

31) What are the extremes excluding the outlier?

32) Print out or copy the given number line again and make a box-and-whisker plot of the same data but exclude (don’t include) the outlier in the box-and-whiskers. Describe your box-and-whiskers plot in detail by referencing the upper and lower extremes, the median, and the upper and lower quartile values.
