QUESTION 11

For students who do live on campus, which measure of center is better to use for age?

the mean because by definition, it is the average

the median because it is more resistant to outliers and/or high skew than the mean

either the mean or the median because there are no outliers and the data is not highly skewed

neither the mean nor the median because they are not measures of center

QUESTION 12

Compare the standard deviations between students who do NOT live on campus and students who do live on campus. According to the standard deviation, which group's ages are more consistent?

students who do NOT live on campus

students who do live on campus

both groups have the same consistency with respect to age

cannot be determined

QUESTION 13

Compare the interquartile ranges between students who do NOT live on campus and students who do live on campus. According to the interquartile range, which group's ages are more consistent?

students who do NOT live on campus

students who do live on campus

both groups have the same consistency with respect to age

cannot be determined

QUESTION 14

For students who do NOT live on campus, which measure of varaibility is better to use for age?

the standard deviation because by definition, it is a type of average distance of an observation from the mean

the interquartile range because it is a more resistant to outliers and/or high skew than the standard deviation

either the standard deviation or the interquartile range because there are no outliers and the data is not highly skewed

neither the standard deviation nor the interquartile range because they are not measures of variability

QUESTION 15

For students who do live on campus, which measure of varaibility is better to use for age?

the standard deviation because by definition, it is a type of average distance of an observation from the mean

the interquartile range because it is a more resistant to outliers and/or high skew than the standard deviation

either the standard deviation or the interquartile range because there are no outliers and the data is not highly skewed

neither the standard deviation nor the interquartile range because they are not measures of variability
