The 5 Number Summary and Symmetric Distributions

In class students learned how to use the 5 number summary (min, Q1, med., Q2, max) to describe a asymmetric distribution.  Students also learned how to find the Interquartile Range (IQR) = Q3 - Q1. 

Afterwards, students learned about symmetric distributions.  For symmetric distributions we use the mean and standard deviation to describe the center and spread, respectively.

The notes and homework are attached.
