The five-number summary of the dataset (5, 8, 0, 3, 2, 7, 4) is as follows: minimum = 0, Q1 = 2, median (Q2) = 4, Q3 = 7, and maximum = 8. The box plot displays this summary, with a box from Q1 to Q3, a line at the median, and "whiskers" extending to the minimum (0) and maximum (8) values. The distribution is right-skewed, indicated by a longer whisker on the right side of the box plot, suggesting that while most days yield a moderate number of eggs, there are a few days with significantly higher counts.
The following dataset represents the number of eggs laid in the chicken coop each day for the past week.
5, 8, 0, 3, 2, 7, 4
In three short sentences, find the five-number summary, create a box plot, and describe the distribution of data using the box plot and explain what the distribution means.
