discuss the data and the graph. Include in your discussion, the shape of the data, the benefits of using the histogram versus the table data alone. Discuss if you feel the data in the 40.1 to 45.0 range are outliers. Finally, discuss how you would handle these extreme or potential outlier data points?

Here from the histogram, we can say that the data is j- shaped. It's not positively skewed, as the shape is not bell-shaped.
Yes, the data 40.1 - 45.0 is an outlier. Here we can replace that value with the maximum value of the data set except the outlier one. Here the max value except the outlier is 20.1-25.0. We can replace the outlier with this value.
