Question

Interpret the variability of the following two datasets, representing the number of leaves on two different species of growing pothos plants: Species 1: {14,18,19,22,17} Species 2: {22,19,18,24,23} Which dataset is more variable? (1 point) Responses Species 1, because it has a higher mean absolute deviation Species 1, because it has a higher mean absolute deviation Species 2, because it has a lower mean absolute deviation Species 2, because it has a lower mean absolute deviation Species 2, because it has a higher mean absolute deviation Species 2, because it has a higher mean absolute deviation Species 1, because it has a lower mean absolute deviation

Answer 1

Species 2, because it has a higher mean absolute deviation.

Answer 2

The data shows the number of miles run per week by randomly selected students from two different classes. Find the difference between the medians. Which class has a higher median? By how much? Class 1: 6, 8, 10, 11, 14, 4, 5, 8, 2, 7, 7, 5, 10, 12, 11 Class 2: 6, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 9, 10, 11, 5, 8, 7, 4, 10 (1 point) Responses Class 2 has a higher median than Class 1 by 1 mile. Class 2 has a higher median than Class 1 by 1 mile. Class 1 has a higher median than Class 2 by 1 mile. Class 1 has a higher median than Class 2 by 1 mile. Class 2 has a higher median than Class 1 by 0.5 mile. Class 2 has a higher median than Class 1 by 0.5 mile. Class 1 has a higher median than Class 2 by 0.5 mile.

Answer 3

Class 2 has a higher median than Class 1 by 1 mile.
