Having difficulty calculating this. Can you please help? Question: Here's a new idea for treating advanced melanoma, the mostserious kind of skin cancer. Genetically engineer white blood cellsto better recognize and destroy cancer cells, then infuse thesecells into patients. The subjects in a small initial study were 11patients whose melanoma had not responded to existing treatments.One question was how rapidly the new cells would multiply afterinfusion, as measured by the doubling time in days. Here are thedoubling times: 1.4   1.0   1.3   1.0   1.3   2.0   0.6   0.8   0.7   0.9   1.9 Another outcome was the increase in the presence of cells thattrigger an immune response in the body and so may help fightcancer. Here are the increases, in counts of active cells per100,000 cells: 27   7   0   215   20   700   13   510   34   86   108 Make stemplots of both distributions (use split stems andleave out any extreme outliers). Describe the overall shapes andany outliers. Then give the five-number summary for both. (We can'tcompare the summaries because the two variables have differentscales). And after finding the five-number summaries for thedistributions of two responses to a new cancer treatment. Dothe data contain any observations that are suspected outliers bythe 1.5 x IQR rule?

Explanation / Answer

split - Stem plot 1 Stem Leaf | 0. | 0. | 6 7 8 9 1. | 0 0 3 3 4 1. | 9 2. | 0 Majority of data seems to be on low end with data tailing off tothe high side, thus we would conclude this data is skewed right. As there are no gaps in the distribution, there appear to be nooutliers. 5-Number summary includes Minimum, Maximum, Q1, Q3 and Median Min = 0.6 Max = 2.0 Median = 1.0 Q1 = 0.8 Q3 = 1.3 Outliers using the 1.5 IQR rule would be values less than 0.05 ormore than 2.05 (none exist)
