a. choose the correct answer below for the shape of the distribution.
a. the distribution is skewed left.
b. the distribution is roughly symmetric.
c. the distribution is skewed right.
d. the shape of the distribution cannot be determined from the boxplot.
b. the five-number summary is $\square, \square, \square, \square, \square$.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze boxplot skew

A boxplot with a long right whisker (right tail longer than left) indicates a right-skewed distribution.

Step2: Identify five-number summary

Read values from the boxplot: minimum = 2, first quartile ($Q_1$) = 4, median = 6, third quartile ($Q_3$) = 9, maximum = 19.

Answer:

a. C. The distribution is skewed right.
b. 2, 4, 6, 9, 19
