Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

minimum = 45

first quartile = 55

median = 75

third quartile = 85

maximum = 95

lower fence = Q1 - 1.5 x IQR  = 10

upper fence = Q3 + 1.5 x IQR  = 130

Therefore, one outlier = 140

b)  mean = sum of all numbers ÷ n = 760 ÷ 10 = 76  ($76,000)

There is an outlier (140). Outliers don't affect the median as much as they affect the mean.  

c) see attached

d) negative skew
