@phi

Answer 11

I'm thinking.
For NY, when it says Q1 4.5 and Q3 is 6, that means 1/2 of the families fit between those two numbers. in other words, a number like 5ish would be a reasonable "middle number"

Answer 12

ok

Answer 13

the median is 5.5 which is a better fit than the mean which is 7.25
so NY is definitely median

Answer 14

c then for the answer

Answer 15

yes, c looks good.
the rome data looks symmetric
3 to 13, middle is 8, the difference between the middle and the "edges" is 5
so mean 8, std 5 would be a good way describe the rome data
