| 8) Label the parts of the box-and-whiskers plot drawn for the data in problem #1. Select from the terms given and state the letter and term for the labeled part of the graph. (Note: The outlier is graphed separately from the rest of the data; thus, the upper extreme is the next highest piece of data.)

Print out the chart. Exclude the outlier (do not include it in the data when making the calculations) and then find the range, median, upper quartile, lower quartile, mode, and mean of the baseball data. Use this information to answer questions #20 through #25.

| 26) Draw a second box-and-whiskers graph above the same number line that you used in problem #19. Make this second graph a graph of the data in which the outlier has been excluded; therefore draw the outlier as a separate point. Comparing the data in both tables and the graphs of the two box-and-whisker plots, answer the following questions:
a. Which statistical measure is most affected by excluding the outlier?
b. Which statistical measure is the next most affected by excluding the outlier?
c. Why might you want to exclude the outlier in figuring the statistical measures?

| 27) Bill, Adele, and Richard deliver newspapers. Bill delivers 252 papers, Adele delivers 168 papers, and Richard delivers 105 papers. The newspapers are packaged in full bundles with the same number of papers in each bundle. What is the greatest number of papers that there could be in a bundle if each person receives several full bundles to deliver? (Hint: Use division and trial and error to find the number of papers in each bundle. Remember, you are looking for the greatest number of papers in each bundle with no papers left over when you divide by that number.)
