The Jonas 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 M 128 180 62 141 160 55.5 41.5 High School N 131 180 49 159 154 48.5 36.5 High School P 140 180 40 153 165 32.5 31.5 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? Justify your answer mathematically. (5 points) Part B: If the school district wants to award the school with the highest average attendance, which school should it choose and why? Justify your answer mathematically. (5 points)

i just need someone to help explain and to check my work

OpenStudy (phi):

"consistent" means not a lot of variation. I would pick the school with the smallest range/IQR/sigma (hopefully all 3 measures are smaller than the other school's numbers)

OpenStudy (phi):

the school with the highest average attendance is the school with the biggest number for the average.

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

so school p becasue of the smallest iqr

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

and for the other one it should be school n because of the mean
