8.8. Consider three data sets. (1) 19, 24, 12, 19, 18, 24, 8, 5, 9, 20, 13, 11, 1, 12, 11, 10, 22, 21, 7, 16, 15, 15, 26, 16, 1, 13, 21, 21, 20, 19 (2) 17, 24, 21, 22, 26, 22, 19, 21, 23, 11, 19, 14, 23, 25, 26, 15, 17, 26, 21, 18, 19, 21, 24, 18, 16, 20, 21, 20, 23, 33 (3) 56, 52, 13, 34, 33, 18, 44, 41, 48, 75, 24, 19, 35, 27, 46, 62, 71, 24, 66, 94, 40, 18, 15, 39, 53, 23, 41, 78, 15, 35 (a) For each data set, draw a histogram and determine whether the distribution is rightskewed, left-skewed, or symmetric.

(a) For each data set, draw a histogram and determine whether the distribution is right skewed,
left-skewed, or symmetric.
 (b) Compute sample means and sample medians. Do they support your findings about
skewness and symmetry? How?
