IQR; the data distribution is skewed
Since the data distribution is not symmetrical and there are some extreme values (4 goals scored multiple times), the Interquartile Range (IQR) would be a better measure of variability to describe the spread of the dataset.
Number of goals scored in one season at Whitmore College soccer games follows:
0, 0, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4
Which measure of variability—IQR or MAD— best describes the spread of the dataset?
(1 point)
