Select all that apply. () No customer gave the muffins fewer than 8 stars. A typical rating for the muffins was 7 stars. The middle 50% of customer ratings had a range of 4 stars. Submit

Answer 1

From these data and statistics, we can conclude the following:

- A typical rating for the muffins was 7 stars, since the median rating was 7 stars.
- The middle 50% of customer ratings had a range of 4 stars, since the interquartile range was 4 stars.
- We cannot conclude that no customer gave the muffins fewer than 8 stars, as the median is not necessarily equal to the mean, and it is possible that some customers rated the muffins below 8 stars. Therefore, this statement is not necessarily true.
