Four amateur miniature golfers attempt to finish 100 holes under par several times. Each round of 100, the number of holes they successfully complete under par is recorded. Due to the presence of extreme values, box plots were determined to be the best representation for the data. 

List the four box plots in order of variability from least to greatest.

Select all the distribution shapes for which the median could be much less than the mean.

What is the five-number summary for the data 0, 2, 2, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 7, 11?

For the data 0, 2, 2, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 7, 11.

When the minimum, 0, is removed from the data set, what is the five-number summary?

What effect does eliminating the highest value, 180, from the data set have on the mean and median?

25, 50, 50, 60, 70, 85, 85, 90, 90, 180

The histogram represents the distribution of the number of seconds it took for each of 50 students to find the answer to a trivia question using the internet. 
Which interval contains the median?

0 to 5 seconds

5 to 10 seconds

10 to 15 seconds

15 to 20 seconds
