Now, for the mean area histogram, switch on Color by Target, so that it shows the distribution of mean area for benign and malignant samples.

Use the plot to answer the following questions. Approximate values are sufficient.

1. Typical values: In which range are most benign samples concentrated? How does this compare with the malignant samples? Which group typically has larger values?

2. Spread: Which group’s values are spread over a wider range? Support your answer by referring to the approximate ranges visible in the plot.

3. Shape and extreme values: Look at the malignant samples. Is the distribution roughly symmetric, or does it extend further towards smaller or larger values? A few samples have values above 2,000. Would you describe these as typical of the group? Explain why or why not.

4. Evaluate a statement: A student says: “Malignant samples always have a larger mean area than benign samples.” Do you agree? Look for ranges in which the two distributions overlap and use them to justify your answer. If necessary, rewrite the statement so that it better reflects what the histogram shows.
