What type of skewness is present if the box in a box and whisker graph is closer to the lower whisker?

• Negative skewness

• Symmetric skewness

• No skewness

• Positive skewness

What does a median closer to the lower quartile suggest in a box and whisker graph?

• Normal distribution

• Positively skewed distribution

How is the range calculated in a box and whisker graph?
