Answer 1

The answer to this is A.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question the given table is of two separate age groups to determine the number of hours teens spent on the internet each week.

From the table

average hours spent by teens between the age of 13-14 years old

=  (12+8+7+8+9+6+7+7+9+10+15)/10 = 83/10 = 8.3 hours

average hours spent by teens between age of 15-16 years old

=(15+6+21+12+13+12+8+9+7+10)/10 = 113/10 = 11.3 hours

From these averages we can conclude

A) 15-16 year old spend a few hours more than 13-14 year old teens.

D. The amount that 15-16 year old teens spend on internet is more variable than the time spent by 13-14 years old.

Option A and D are the correct options.
