Which statement is true?

The median test scores of female and male students were the same.

The median test score of female students was higher than the median test score of male students.

The interquartile range of female test scores was lower than the interquartile range of male test scores.

The interquartile range of female test scores was higher than the interquartile range of male test scores.

Answer 1

Answer:The interquartile range of female test scores was higher than the interquartile range of male test scores.

Explanation:

In order to find the interquartile range of the data set is to take the third quartile value and subtract the first quartile value. In this case, for females the third quartile value from the lower half would be 87 and the other third quartile value from the higher half would be 98. You do 98-87 to get 11. You do the exact same thing for the males, except it’ll be 97-88 which will give you 9. Therefore, the interquartile range of female test scores are higher than the interquartile range of the male test scores.
