Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall range formula
Range = Maximum - Minimum For Ms. Dobson's class, assume minimum is around 50 and maximum is around 90, range = 90 - 50 = 40. For district - wide, assume minimum is around 20 and maximum is around 100, range = 100 - 20 = 80. So Ms. Dobson's class has a smaller range.
Step2: Recall inter - quartile range (IQR) formula
IQR = Q3 - Q1. For Ms. Dobson's class, assume Q1 is around 60 and Q3 is around 80, IQR = 80 - 60 = 20. For district - wide, assume Q1 is around 50 and Q3 is around 70, IQR = 70 - 50 = 20. So the statement about the district having a greater IQR is false.
Step3: Recall outlier rule
Outliers are below Q1 - 1.5IQR or above Q3 + 1.5IQR. For district - wide, Q1 = 50, Q3 = 70, IQR = 20. Q1 - 1.5IQR=50 - 1.520 = 20, Q3 + 1.5IQR=70+1.520 = 100. 15 is below 20, so 15 is an outlier. 100 is not an outlier as it is equal to Q3 + 1.5*IQR.
Step4: Compare overall scores
The median of Ms. Dobson's class is around 70 and the median of district - wide is around 60. So in general, Ms. Dobson's class scores were better.
Answer:
Ms. Dobson's class has a smaller range of scores. Fifteen is an outlier for the district's scores.
