Raquel and Van live in two different cities. As a part of a project, they each record the lowest prices for a gallon of gas at gas stations around their cities on the same day. Raquel’s data show mean = 3.42 and standard deviation = 0.07. Van’s data show mean = 3.78 and standard deviation = 0.23.

Which statement is true about their gas-price data?

A: Raquel’s data are more likely closer to $3.42 than Van’s data are to $3.78.
B: Van’s data are more likely closer to $3.42 than Raquel’s are to $3.78.
C: Raquel’s data are more likely closer to $3.78 than Van’s data are to $3.42.
D: Van’s data are more likely closer to $3.78 than Raquel’s are to $3.42.

A: Raquel’s data are more likely closer to $3.42 than Van’s data are to $3.78

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Raquel’s standard deviation is less than Van's standard deviation, then Raquel’s data are more likely closer to Raquel’s mean than Van’s data are to Van's mean.

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Raquel’s data are most likely closer to $3.42 than Van’s data are to $3.78.

see below

step-by-step explanation:

7.   there are 10 data points in the set.   the middle point is between 5 and 6.   the middle point in the top half is 8   and the middle point in the bottom half is 3. to find the iqr , take point 8 and subtract point 3

mid term   point 8 = 100   point 3 = 88

iqr = 100-88 = 12

final   point 8 = 93   point 3 = 78

iqr = 93 - 78 = 15

the final has the greatest iqr

6.   b - there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males: the data for males are high and asymmetrical .   there is an outlier for the males that skews the data

5.   the   iqr is a better measure of spread for the movies and basketball games.   since the basketball game has an outlier, we do not want to use standard deviation for measurement.  

3.   the exam median is much higher than the class median.   the median line is farther to the right on the exams

2.   there is no way to tell what the means are from the box and whisker plots.  

eve and marks ratios are equivalent
