The activity of the enzyme in cells that take up the gene can be assayed. The more active the enzyme, the better. Suppose a researcher isolates 45 clones of cells and measures the enzyme activity in each clone. The results are shown below in activity units10.414.213.09.010.19.88.93.212.010.210.10.42.39.19.211.09.112.18.95.612.07.811.38.613.612.215.19.82.110.210.19.49.812.32.112.310.610.812.412.013.15.812.812.31.5a.      (5 points) Using MS Excel, find the minimum, the maximum, the median, the mean (average), and the standard deviation for the enzyme activity data from the isolated clones.MinimumMaximumMedianMeanStandard Deviationb.      (4 points) Using MS Excel, make a histogram graph of the data.
