The Etruscans. Anthropologists are still trying to unravel the mystery of the origins of the Etruscan empire, a highly advanced Italic civilization formed around the eighth century B.C. in central Italy. Were they native to the Italian peninsula or, as many aspects of their civilization suggest, did they migrate from the East by land or sea? The maximum head breadth, in millimeters, of modern Italian male skulls and that of preserved Etruscan male skulls were analyzed to help researchers decide whether the Etruscans were native to Italy. The resulting data can be found on the WeissStats site. [SOURCE: N. Barnicot and D. Brothwell, "The Evaluation of Metrical Data in the Comparison of Ancient and Modern Bones."

For the mean and the median, round each answer to one more decimal place than that used for the observations.
Amphibian Embryos. In a study of the effects of radiation on amphibian embryos titled "Shedding Light on Ultraviolet Radiation and Amphibian Embryos" L. Licht recorded the time it took for a sample of seven different species of frogs' and toads' eggs to hatch. The following table shows the times to hatch, in days.
Identify an advantage that the median and interquartile range have over the mean and standard deviation, respectively.
Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. According to the document Dietary Guidelines for Americans published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, for adults, a BMI of greater than indicates an above healthy weight (i.e., overweight or obese). The BMIs of randomly selected U.S. adults have a mean of and a standard deviation of
