Here are the correct answers for each question:
1. To find the range, subtract the smallest value from the largest value in the data set. The smallest number is 25 and the largest is 48.
Range = 48 - 25 = 23 miles.
**Answer: b. 23 miles**
2. To calculate the interquartile range (IQR), arrange the data and find Q1 and Q3. The data set is: 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60.
Q1 (median of first half) = 35, Q3 (median of second half) = 50.
IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 50 - 35 = 15.
**Answer: c. 15**
3. The mean absolute deviation (MAD) describes how data values deviate from the mean on average.
**Answer: b. How far data values are, on average, from the mean**
4. To find the MAD for each team, calculate the mean for each team and then the average of the absolute deviations from that mean. Although we don't perform the calculations here, generally:
- Team A has scores that are more spread out compared to Team B.
**Answer: d. Team A; their scores are more spread out**
