Quincy listed the amounts he earned doing yard work.
$42, $38, $26, $32, $40, $34, $28, $32
How would deleting the least amount affect the mean and the median of his data?
*

It would not change the mean or the median.
Both the mean and the median would increase
The mean would decrease and the median would increase
The mean would increase and the median would decrease.

A measure of variation describes the spread of the data with a single number.
The range is always greater than the interquartile range.
Different measures of variation always have different values.

I apologize for any inconvenience caused by the delay. Here are the answers to your questions:
1. The mean number of fish in a tank is calculated by summing up the number of fish in each tank and dividing it by the total number of tanks. Unfortunately, the table with the number of fish in each tank is not provided, so we cannot determine the mean number of fish.
2. To find the median practice time, you need to arrange the practice times in ascending order and then find the middle value. In this case, the given practice times are: 18, 23, 24, 24, 25, 25, 28, 28, 30, 32, 32, 35. The middle two values are 25 and 28, so the median practice time is the average of these two values, which is 26.5 minutes.
3. Deleting the least amount from Quincy's earnings data would affect the mean and median. Since the deleted value is the least value, both the mean and median would increase. This is because removing a smaller value increases the average and does not change the position of the middle value.
4. To show how much the data in his set vary, Donald could use the range. The range is calculated by subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value. In this case, the range would be the difference between the highest and lowest number of pets in the dataset.
5. The measure that describes all the values in the given dataset is the interquartile range. The interquartile range represents the spread between the upper quartile (maximum) and lower quartile (minimum).
6. Based on the given data, the dot plot that shows the weights of the pumpkins is plot D.
7. Based on the given data, the histogram that shows the weights of the backpacks is histogram C.
8. The type of data that would be best displayed in a histogram is the number of dental chairs donated each month for the last 12 months (range: 1-9). Histograms are useful for displaying the frequency or count of different categories or ranges of values.
9. The type of data that would be best displayed in a dot plot is the number of toothbrushes distributed each month for the last 24 months (range: 725-2450). Dot plots are effective for displaying individual values or small datasets.
10. Based on the dot plot shown, the center (median) of the data is around 2. The median is the middle value of a dataset when arranged in ascending order.
11. The statement that is not true about measures of variation for numerical data is that the range is always greater than the interquartile range. In some cases, the range can be smaller than the interquartile range.
12. The question "How tall are the corn plants?" is not a statistical question. Statistical questions involve gathering, analyzing, and interpreting data, whereas this question is looking for a specific value.
13. The question "Which questions received the most positive responses?" is not a statistical question. It is asking for a specific answer and does not involve data analysis or interpretation.
