Question

Amy collected data to determine how many minutes it takes each member of her freshman track team to run five miles. Identify the striking deviation in her data.

A) 25-30 mins
B) 35-40 mins
C) 45-50 mins
D) 50-60 mins

Answer 1

A: 25-30 minutes.

Explanation:

Consider a striking deviation as an outlier (Something that stands out in a pattern, EX: 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 10 where the outlier would be 10.) Because there is a piece of data at 25-30 minutes that deviates (Or, separates, in a way), it would be considered an outlier (Or, a Striking deviation). Using this information, we can conclude that the answer would be A: 25-30 minutes.
