Question 69

100 students completed a puzzle, their times are summarised by summary data and the box plot.

A horizontal box plot of puzzle completion times on a 0 to 14 minute axis, with two separate outlier crosses.

∑x=415∑x2=2100 \sum x = 415 \quad \sum x^2 = 2100 ∑x=415∑x2=2100

Use the summary data and the box plot to calculate the range, interquartile range, mean and standard deviation of the times, and state, giving a reason, whether you would recommend using the mean and standard deviation or the median and interquartile range to describe these data.
