The summary statistics are shown in the table.

O A. versicolor, because the minimum is greater B. versicolor, because the maximum is greater C. versicolor, because the difference between the minimum and QI is greater O D. virginica, because the range is greater E. virginica, because the difference between Q3 and the maximum is greater

Answer 1

Since we want the greatest variety of petal length, we have to look at the range of both versicolor and virginica:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Virginica} \\ Range=Max-Min=56-30=26 \\ \text{Versicolor} \\ Range=69-45=24 \end{gathered}$

therefore, the optuon is virginica, because the range is greater
