<h2>Answer:</h2>

The inference that can be made by the given data sets is: Option: B

       B) The median is the best measure to use to compare the sets.  

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given a data set for Boys and Girls as:

Boys: 19, 23, 26, 27, 30

Girls: 14, 17, 21, 25, 168

  • clearly we could see that there is a outlier in the data of girls i.e. 168 as it is a too high value as compared to other data values in the set.

This means that there is a greater spread in the number of texts sent by girls as compared to boys.

and data for girls have a greater variance as compared to boys.

          Hence, option: A is discarded.

  • Also,

          Median of Boys= 26

          and Median for Girls = 21

This means that Median for the number of texts sent by boys is more than those by girls.

Hence, option: D is discarded.

  • Also we know that an outlier affect the mean and median of the data.

Hence, option: C is discarded.

  • We know that median of the data is the central tendency of the data and best compare the set of data.

          Hence, Option: B) is the correct answer.

Any multiples of 4.5:1.5 would work because being proportional just depends on whether you can reduce to get the same answer of the first triangle. You could do anything like 9m and 3m or 27m and 9m

You can write it as a proportion and then solve the proportion. 
(2.5 hours is 150 minutes)
14 cars          x cars
--------------- = -------------------
45 minutes    150 minutes

Then solve.

x=46.6666666
So that is about 47 cars
