The center of the graphs are around 27, and as a whole, they are symmetrical (slight right skew).
Their spread is from 13 to 45 and hence their range is 32. There does not seem to be much
dispersion since the standard deviation is 7.502 and the Interquartile Range is only 12.5.

Overall, the distribution of the data does seem to come from a normal population, though the top
of the bell is a bit flattened. The graph overall is still symmetrical and has a single peak, but is
slightly right skewed. The mean (26.39) and mode (28) are relatively close to the median (27),
and there were no extreme outliers in our data set.
