The weights of 5 girls are 70 pounds, 68 pounds, 85 pounds, 62 pounds, and 70 pounds. Nina finds measures of center and measures
of variation of this data. Match the descriptions to the type of measure.
1. She found the difference of the least
and the greatest values.
2. She found the middle value after
arranging all the values from least
to greatest.
3. She added all the values and divided the
sum by 5.
4. She found the value that appeared the
most often.
5. She found the difference of the
upper quartile and the lower
quartile.
6. She found the mean and then
found the average deviation of
the weights from the mean.
