Answer 18

I have 8 more of these questions and i don't understand one of em...i just answered 1 and got confused on this one.

Answer 19

I just read that when data has outliers, it is best to use the IQR. And both movies and games has outliers.

So that eliminates both B and D?

Answer 22

i have a hunch that IQR is better for movies and std. deviation is better for basketball (as the spread for basketball is not max in the middle and std. deviation considers all points from the set unlike IQR )

Answer 23

you could be right...because the games have outliers but they are not that far spaced

Answer 24

I think this is A.

Answer 25

I would probably go with Hartnn's answer. He is probably better at this then me
