Question

The median number of magazine appearances made by 777 models is 555. The range of number of magazine appearances by those models is 555. Determine if the following statement is true, is false, or does not contain enough information: If the fewest magazine appearances is 333, then the greatest number of appearances is 999.

A. True
B. False

Answer 1

The statement is false because the range calculated by subtracting the fewest appearances (333) from the greatest (999) does not equal the given range of 555.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question deals with the concept of the median and range in statistics. Given the median number of magazine appearances is 555, and the range is 555, we attempt to determine if the greatest number of appearances is 999 if the fewest is 333.

The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values, so subtracting the smallest number of appearances (333) from the largest should give us the range. Since 999 - 333 = 666, which does not equal the given range of 555, the statement is false.
