Question

Drag each label to the correct location on the table. Each label can be used more than once. A cross country coach records the number of miles his athletes on the Junior Varsity and Varsity teams ran today and displays the data in the provided dot plots. Given the shape of each distribution, determine which measures of center and spread are appropriate for him to use to summarize the data from each team. mean mean interquartile range interquartile range standard deviation standard deviation median median

Answer 1

Answer:

a.) For the Junior Varsity Team, mean would be the appropriate measure of center since the data is symmetric or well-proportioned while we should use standard deviation for getting the measure of spread since it also measures the center and how far the values are from the mean.

b.) For the Varsity Team, the median would be the appropriate measure of the center since the data is skewed left and not evenly distributed so median could be used since it does not account for outliers while we use IQR or interquartile range in measuring the spread of data since IQR does not account for the data that is skewed.

Answer 2

Answer:

junior team:

1. measure of center-mean
2. measure of spread-standard deviation

team:

measure of center-median

measure of spread- IQR
