7|0 represents 70 months. based on the stemplot, which of the following statements is true? a the median age…

Explanation:

Step1: Count number of data - points for each gender

For female bears, count the number of values in the stemplot. There are 20 values. For male bears, there are 20 values.

Step2: Find the median for female bears

Since (n = 20) (even), the median is the average of the (\frac{n}{2}=10)th and ((\frac{n}{2}+ 1)=11)th ordered values. Arranging the female - bear ages in ascending order, the 10th value is 34 and the 11th value is 35. So, the median for female bears is (\frac{34 + 35}{2}=34.5).

Step3: Find the median for male bears

Since (n = 20) (even), the median is the average of the 10th and 11th ordered values. Arranging the male - bear ages in ascending order, the 10th value is 24 and the 11th value is 25. So, the median for male bears is (\frac{24+25}{2}=24.5).

Step4: Find the range for female bears

The maximum age of female bears is 45 and the minimum is 15. The range is (45 - 15=30).

Step5: Find the range for male bears

The maximum age of male bears is 38 and the minimum is 1. The range is (38 - 1=37).

Answer:

B. The median age and the range of ages are both less for female bears than for male bears.
