Odd numbered problems are for practice (they have answers in the back
of the book). Even numbered problems should be turned in, except
as noted.

Comments:
#41: the stemplot and median are probably best done by hand.
The mean and standard deviation are best done by calculator or computer.
#47: Minitab does a different type of boxplot than the one discussed
in the text.
#106: Explanations of why are important.
#110: There is no textbook data file for this problem. Giving
explanations and supporting evidence is important.
