Answer:

Explain the circumstances for which the interquartile range is the preferred measure of dispersion

Interquartile range is preferred when the distribution of data is highly skewed (right or left skewed) and when we have the presence of outliers. Because under these conditions the sample variance and deviation can be biased estimators for the dispersion.

What is an advantage that the standard deviation has over the interquartile​ range?

The most important advantage is that the sample variance and deviation takes in count all the observations in order to calculate the statistic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The interquartile range is defined as the difference between the upper quartile and the first quartile and is a measure of dispersion for a dataset.

IQR= Q_3 -Q_1

The standard deviation is a measure of dispersion obatined from the sample variance and is given by:

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

Solution to the problem

Lapatulllka [165]
110000 is the total dividends of both preferred stock and common stock
So we need to find the dividend per share common stock

First find the total dividends of preferred stock
5,000×2.38=11,900


Subtract the total dividends of preferred stock for the total dividends to find the total dividends of common stock
110,000−11,900=98,100

Finally divide the total dividends of common stock by the number of common stock to find the dividend per share of common stock
98,100÷12,000=8.175....answer
