One-Sample (Symmetry or Location) Kiama Blowhole Data Highly skew distribution Average approx 40 sec Rarely above 100 sec Median equal to 40 sec? Only above 100 sec in 1% of the eruptions? Normal distributed ?

Location of median Median equal to 40 sec? Only above 100 sec in 1% of the eruptions?

Median equal to 40 sec?

Output NPar Tests NOPE! Median equal to 40 sec?
