The five-number summary of the dataset is: minimum = 0, Q1 = 2, median (Q2) = 4, Q3 = 7, maximum = 8. The box plot would show a box extending from Q1 (2) to Q3 (7) with a line at the median (4) and whiskers extending to the minimum (0) and maximum (8). The distribution indicates a right-skewed or positively skewed distribution, suggesting that most days had a lower number of eggs laid, while a few days (like 8) had 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 very 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.
