Question

How does the variable of data set A compare to the variability of data set B.

Data set A 20, 32, 36, 37, 50
Data set B 29, 35, 36, 46, 59
Select from drop down menu to correctly complete statement.
Data set A has less, the same, or greater than variability. Data set B because the range of data set A is less, equal to, or greater than data set B

Answer 1

The measures of variability for each class are listed:

Class A: Class B:
Range : 30 Range: 30
IQR: 12.5 IQR: 20.5
MAD: 7.2 MAD: 9.2

The interquartile range and the mean absolute deviations for class B are larger number therefore indicating that there is more variability in that data set.
