​ Team A:

​ Team B:

Which statement appropriately compares the ages of the team members?
A
Members of Team A and members of Team B are likely the same average (mean) age.
B
Members of Team A are likely younger, and they have less variability in their ages.
C
Members of Team A are likely older, and they have more variability in their ages.
D
Members of Team A are likely older, and they have less variability in their ages.

Answer 1

I don't see the ages — the numbers for Team A and Team B are missing from your message. Could you either paste the five ages for each team here or attach the image/text that shows them?

If you prefer to decide yourself, here's how to choose the correct option once you have the numbers:
- Compute each team's mean (add the five ages and divide by 5). Compare the two means to tell which team is likely older.
- Measure variability (spread) by either range (max − min) or standard deviation/IQR. The larger spread indicates more variability.

Give me the two lists and I’ll compute the mean and variability and pick the correct answer for you.
