Describe the shape of the variable CellTime in column C5A)Mean =67.254; IQR = 0.58; SkewedrightB)Mean = 67.254; IQR = 0.58; SkewedleftC)Mean = 67.723; IQR = 0.585; SkewedrightD)Mean = 67.506; IQR = 0.60; SkewedrightFeedback:To find the mean: go either to Stat > Basic Statistics > Display Descriptive Statistics andselecting Height, or going to Calc > Column Statistics > select the option Mean and select Height.For IQR, first find Q1 and Q3 by going to Stat > Basic Statistics > Display Descriptive Statistics andselecting GPA. From this, IQR is found by Q3-Q1.To describe the shape, create a histogram [Graph > Histogram > select CellTime] and notice that the bulkof the data gathers to the left and "tails" tails to the right. So the shape would be described as skewedright or positively skewed.Points Earned:3.0/3.02.Close all minitab filesClick the following linkMinitab DataorExcel Data. From this data, use software toanswer the following: 1. How many studentsansweredthe question regarding SAT Math scores (ColumnC14)? 2.
