The following are the cystatin C levels (mg/L) for the patients described in Exercise 15 (A-17). Cystatin C is a cationic basic protein that was investigated for its relationship to GFR levels. In addition, creatinine levels are also given. (Note: Some subjects were measured more than once.)

(a) For each variable, compute the mean, median, variance, standard deviation, and coefficient of
variation.
(b) For each variable, construct a stem-and-leaf display and a box-and-whisker plot.
