Question 2: Marks: 10

At a large manufacturing company, the following is a record of the working hours that were
logged for 32 different personnel. The five-number summary should be used to check the
symmetry of the data.
13, 23, 25, 30, 33, 36, 26, 24, 23, 28, 22, 25, 26, 29, 19, 23, 25, 30, 40, 39, 36, 38, 35, 32, 31,
30, 37, 33, 27, 26, 28, 24.

Solution:
To check the symmetry of the data using five-number summary, we’ll follow these steps:
1. Arrange the data in ascending order.
2. Calculate the minimum Q1, median(Q2), Q3 and maximum.
3. Compare the median with the average of Q1 and Q3.
Ascending Order:
13,19,22,23,23,23,24,24,25,25,25,26,26,26,27,28,28,29,30,30,30,31,32,33,33,35,36,36,37,38,
39,40
Five-number summary:
 Minimum:13
 Q1:23
 Median Q2:26
 Q3:33
 Maximum:40
Check Summary
Q2:26
Average of Q1 and Q3 = (23+33)/2
=28
The median is not equally to the average of Q1 and Q3
