Question

The Harlowe school district gives awards to its schools based on overall student attendance. The data for attendance are shown in the table, where Low represents the fewest days attended and High represents the most days attended for a single student.


School Low High Range Mean Median IQR σ
High School A 98 180 82 158 148 55.5 35.2
High School B 105 180 75 145 124 48.5 28.2
High School C 102 180 78 169 151 53.5 31.3


Part A: If the school district wants to award the school that has the most consistent attendance among its students, which high school should it choose and why?

Answer 1

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE MEDAL

Answer 2

This is what I got for both.

Part A: The school that gets the award for the most consistent attendance among its students is High School B. This is because its range is the smallest (meaning there is a smaller variation in the highest and lowest values) and because the interquartile range is the smallest (meaning that the data is the spread out the least).

Part B: The school that gets the award for the highest average attendance among its students is High School C. This is because its mean and median are the highest, (meaning that more kids attended school on average).
