hint: look for the one that tells you how spread out the data is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

does the mean tell you how spread out the data is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes because it's data that's spread out about the mean

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no, it only tells us the center of the data distribution it does NOT tell us how spread out things are

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

same with the median

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe it's D

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the max alone doesn't tell the whole story, but max - min does

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

range = max - min

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the larger the range, the more spread out the data is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand how it's the range

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

although, the range is somewhat of a lousy variability indicator

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

range is the difference between the max and min

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK I understand thanks
