The employees of two companies were asked how many times they checked their email during weekends. The table below shows the numbers for each company: Company A 2 4 8 8 2 6 4 8 3 Company B 2 6 3 5 2 4 6 3 2 Based on the table, which of the following is true? The interquartile range for Company A employees is 2 more than the interquartile range for Company B employees. The interquartile range for Company A employees is 0.5 more than the interquartile range for Company B employees. The interquartile range for Company A employees is 1 more than the interquartile range for Company B employees. The interquartile range for Company A employees is 2.5 more than the interquartile range for Company B employees.

are you by chance taking algebra 1 on flvs?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well you did it right by lining up the numbers, crossing out and dividing the two middle ones leaving you with 4 and 3, 4 - 3 = 1 so I think you are right.

Hmm not quite what I get Company A: 2,2,3,4,4,6,8,8,8 Median = 4....Q3 = 8 Q1 = 5/2 Q3 - Q1 = 8 - (5/2) = (11/2) = 5.5 Company B: 2,2,2,3,3,4,5,6,6 Median = 3...Q3 = (11/2) Q1 = 2 Q3 - Q1 = (11/2) - 2 = (7/2) = 3.5 Difference = 5.5 - 3.5 = 2 IQR of Company A is 2 higher than IQR of Company B
