Answer:

The data is skewed to the bottom and contains an outlier.

Explanation:

1. Test for outlier

An outlier is a point that is more than 1.5IQR below Q1 or above Q3.

IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 74 - 51 = 23

1.5 IQR = 1.5 × 23 = 34.5

51 - 15 = 36 > 1.5IQR

The point at 15 is an outlier.

2. Test for normal distribution

The median is not in the middle of the box.

Rather, it cuts the box into two unequal parts, so the data does not have a normal distribution.

3. Test for skewness

The longer part is to the left of the median, so the data is skewed left.
