Here is the histogram of Mantle's home run distribution:
The distribution is not symmetrical – it is right–skewed. 52 and 54 are possible outliers. The center of the distribution is the median (28.5) and the spread is 15 – 54 or you can use Q1 – Q3 from the five number summary: 21 – 37.
NOTE: The latter is a better measure of the spread because it is a resistant measure of the spread.
