Answer:
Question: 1)
The range is:
B. Greater for data set 2 [ 16 to 18 year olds]
The mean is:
B. Greater for data set 2 [ 16 to 18 year olds]
Question: 2)
The range is:
C. Greater for the 17 to 19 years old.
The median is:
C. Greater for the 17 to 19 years old.
Explanation:
Question 1)
Minute spent online (13 to 15 years)
21 1
24 1
26 1
27 2
28 3
31 1
34 1
The minimum value=21
and maximum value= 34
Hence, Range=Maximum value-Minimum value
Range=34-21
Range=13
and mean is:
![Mean=(21+24+26+27* 2+28* 3+31+34)/(1+1+1+2+3+1+1)\\\\\\Mean=(274)/(10)\\\\\\Mean=27.4](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/college/9eq4swanf8tekmejyqdotex16kr90hek0o.png)
and Minute spent online (16 to 18 years)
12 1
21 1
28 4
30.5 1
34 1
35 1
36 1
The minimum value=12
and maximum value= 36
Hence, Range=Maximum value-Minimum value
Range=36-12
Range=24
and mean is calculated as follows:
![Mean=(12+21+28* 4+30.5+34+35+36)/(1+1+4+1+1+1+1)\\\\\\Mean=(280.5)/(10)\\\\\\Mean=28.05](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/college/pd35a6yn52w6t387qn8h0bur3fh9ubl48q.png)
Hence, we see that:
The range is greater for data set 16 to 18 years ( since 24>13)
and the mean is also greater for data set 16 to 18 years ( since 28.05>27.4 )
Question 2)
14 to 16 years:
30 2
40 1
50 4
60 1
70 2
80 2
100 3
150 1
The minimum value=30
and maximum value= 150
Hence, Range=Maximum value-Minimum value
Range=150-30
Range=120
Also,we know that the median always exist in the middle of the data hence, when we arrange the data in the increasing order :
30 30 40 50 50 50 50 60 70 70 80 80 100 100 100 150
The median lie between 60 and 70
Hence, Median=(60+70)/2=65
Median=65
17 to 19 years:
50 1
100 2
120 1
140 1
150 1
160 1
170 1
180 1
200 2
210 1
220 1
The minimum value=50
and maximum value= 220
Hence, Range=Maximum value-Minimum value
Range=220-50
Range=170
Also,we know that the median always exist in the middle of the data hence, when we arrange the data in the increasing order :
50 100 100 120 140 150 160 170 180 200 200 210 220
Hence, the number that comes in the middle is: 160
Hence, Median= 160
The range is same for both the second data( since 170>120) and the median is greater for 17 to 19 years.
