Question

The results that Charles, Isabella and Naomi achieved in four tests are shown in

the table below. They want to see who has the most consistent results.
a) Which of the mean, median, mode or range should they calculate to help
them decide?
b) Who achieved the most consistent results?
Charles 46, 43, 39, 57
Isabella
69, 64, 62, 71
Naomi
94,80, 61,72

Answer 1

Range & Isabella

Explanation:

Part A:

Definitely not range mean or median, as that'll give you their average, not consistency. None of their tables show any repeating values, so not mode either, and range would be the most hopeful for this.

Part B:

The results with the smallest range would be the most consistent:

Charles:
Lowest value = 39 and Highest Value = 57
Range = 57-39 = 18

Isabella:
Lowest value = 62 and Highest value = 71
Range = 71-62 = 9

Naomi:
Lowest value = 61 and Highest value = 94
Range = 94-61 = 33

Isabella achieved the most consistent results. Hope this helps
