To determine which of the given statements is false, we will need to calculate the mode, mean, median, and check for outliers in the delivery times for Fast Food 1 and Fast Food 2.
Given data:
Fast Food 1: 42, 38, 37, 39, 38, 40, 45, 41, 40
Fast Food 2: 40, 37, 40, 41, 38, 46, 41, 37, 40
1. Modal Delivery Time:
The mode for Fast Food 1 is 40 minutes (appears twice: 40, 40).
The mode for Fast Food 2 is also 40 minutes (appears three times: 40, 40, 40).
Both fast food restaurants have the modal delivery time of 40 minutes. This statement is true, not false.
2. Mean Delivery Time:
Mean delivery time for Fast Food 1:
(42 + 38 + 37 + 39 + 38 + 40 + 45 + 41 + 40) / 9 = 360 / 9 = 40 minutes
Mean delivery time for Fast Food 2:
(40 + 37 + 40 + 41 + 38 + 46 + 41 + 37 + 40) / 9 = 360 / 9 = 40 minutes
Both fast food restaurants have the same mean delivery time of 40 minutes. This statement is true, not false.
3. Median Delivery Time:
Firstly, arranging the data sets in ascending order gives:
Fast Food 1 -> 37, 38, 38, 39, 40, 40, 41, 42, 45
Fast Food 2 -> 37, 37, 38, 40, 40, 40, 41, 41, 46
The median delivery time for Fast Food 1 is 40 minutes, and the same for Fast Food 2 is 40 minutes.
Both fast food restaurants have the same median delivery time of 40 minutes. This statement is true, not false.
4. Outliers:
By examining the data, there are no clear outliers present in either data set.
Therefore, the false statement among the provided options is "Neither data set contains an outlier."
