Problem 4

A climatologist measures daily rainfall amounts (mm) for 1111 days: 0.5, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.1, 2.40.5,\ 0.8,\ 1.0,\ 1.2,\ 1.3,\ 1.5,\ 1.6,\ 1.8,\ 2.0,\ 2.1,\ 2.4. Use the boxplot/ quartile method to evaluate whether the distribution of these rainfall amounts is symmetric. Which conclusion is correct?
