Question

II.2. Quarterbacks. Table II.2 gives the total passing yards for National Football League starting quarterbacks during the 2014 season. (These are the quarterbacks with the most passing yards on each team.) Make a histogram of these data. Does the distribution have a clear shape: roughly symmetric, clearly skewed to the left, clearly skewed to the right, or none of these? Which quarterbacks (if any) are outliers?
