Explanation / Answer

1. IQ should be a skewed right distribution.

2. Original set of data is:

10, 11, 13, 21, 24, 24, 27, 28, 33, 35, 35, 35, 37, 39, 40, 41

3. Mean = (Sum) / (No. of data points) = 1576/4 = 394

Median = average of 2nd and 3rd term after arranging into ascending order = (430 + 447)/2 = 438.5

There is no mode since all the values are unique.
