compiled data from hundreds of forms that had been submitted in various city offices.
Summary statistics are shown
in the table.
a. Notice that the minimum occupancy and the first quartile are the same. Explain how this can be.
b. The city classifies residences housing 4 or more people as "high occupancy". Would you consider 4 occupants to be unusually high? Explain.

d. What are the mean and standard deviation of the garbage disposal fees?
