There do not appear to be extreme outliers, s<strong>in</strong>ce the mean and median are close. However,<br />

based on the mean be<strong>in</strong>g smaller than the median, and the skewness value be<strong>in</strong>g negative, there<br />

is a slight left-skew to the distribution. The standard deviation tells us that average CC ratios are<br />

with<strong>in</strong> 0.62, or 62% po<strong>in</strong>ts, of the mean. We verify these notions by consider the histogram<br />

We should also be careful to note that there is not very much data available, which is why we<br />

don‟t dist<strong>in</strong>ctly see a skew.<br />
