Characteristics of a rockfall. Refer to the Environmental Geology (Vol. 58, 2009) study of how far a block from acollapsing rockwall will bounce, Exercise. The computer-simulated rebound lengths (in meters) for 13 block-soil impact marks left on a slope from an actual rockfall (saved in the ROCKWELL file) are reproduced in the table. Do you detect any outliers in the data? Explain.

Characteristics of a rock fall. In Environmental Geology (Vol. 58, 2009) computer simulation was employed to estimate how far a block from a collapsing rock wall will bounce—called rebound length —down a soil slope. Based on the depth, location, and angle of block-soil impact marks left on the slope from an actual rockfall, the following 13 rebound lengths (in meters) were estimated. The data are saved in the ROCKFALL file. Compute the mean and median of the rebound lengths and interpret these values.
