Question

Determine whether the range or interquartile range best describes the spread of a dataset. The times (in seconds) for a high school boys’ 100-meter race: 11.0 11.2 11.7 12.2 12.4 12.6 12.8 12.9 13.1 13.3 13.8 14.2 14.3 14.3 16.5 17.6 18.0 (1 point)

Answer 1

In this case, the interquartile range would best describe the spread of the dataset because it is more resistant to outliers compared to the range.
