Answer 1

Friday and Saturday.

Friday morning:

Mean: 22.5

Median: 18

Mode: 16

Saturday morning

Mean: 28.8

Median: 22.5

Mode: 18

A.) Every person that rides the bus is older than the age of 16

option A may not be always true because considering the median

which indicates some will be below 18 and some above 18

B.) Every person that rides the bus is younger than the age of 29.

Not true because of the mean on Saturday morning 28.8

It shows we are going to possibly have age greater than 28.8

C.) Most people that ride the bus are older than the age of 25.

Not true because of mode is 16 and 18

D.) Most people that ride the bus are younger than the age of 25.

Most likely true because both modes indicated they are younger than age of 25

The final answer

D.) Most people that ride the bus are younger than the age of 25.
