Answer

Answer: C. The range for points scored is greater than the range for points allowed.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate range of points scored

Range = Max - Min. Max of points scored = 31, Min = 17. Range of points scored = 31 - 17 = 14.

Step2: Calculate range of points allowed

Max of points allowed = 28, Min = 10. Range of points allowed = 28 - 10 = 18.

Step3: Analyze mode of points scored

Points scored: 24 appears 2 - times, other values appear once. Mode of points scored is 24.

Step4: Analyze mode of points allowed

Points allowed: 21 appears 3 - times. Mode of points allowed is 21. So mode of points allowed < mode of points scored.

Step5: Analyze median of points scored

Arrange points scored in ascending order: 17, 18, 21, 22, 24, 24, 28, 31. n = 8 (even). Median=$\frac{22 + 24}{2}=23$.

Step6: Analyze median of points allowed

Arrange points allowed in ascending order: 10, 16, 21, 21, 21, 24, 27, 28. n = 8 (even). Median=$\frac{21+21}{2}=21$. Median of points scored > median of points allowed.

Step7: Analyze mean of points scored

Mean of points scored=$\frac{24 + 21+18+17+24+31+22+28}{8}=\frac{185}{8}=23.125$.

Step8: Analyze mean of points allowed

Mean of points allowed=$\frac{16 + 10+27+21+21+24+28+21}{8}=\frac{168}{8}=21$. Mean of points scored > mean of points allowed. Since range of points scored (14) < range of points allowed (18) is false, the correct statement is that the range for points scored is greater than the range for points allowed.
