(a) Select the best description of center for the data set.
O The "average" number of books read was about 24,
which is the number of students in the class.
O The "average" number of books read was about 6 to 7,
based on the IQR and range.
O The "average" number of books read was about 15 or
16, based on the mean and median.
(b) Select the best description of spread for the data set.
O We can tell by the median that the difference between
the largest and smallest number of books read is 16.
We can tell by the range that the difference between the
largest and smallest number of books read is 7.
We can tell by the number of students in the class that
the difference between the largest and smallest number of
books read is 24.
