Question

A grocery store received two shipments of watermelon. Eachwatermelon in a shipment was weighed, then a line plot wasmade of all of the weights in a shipment.Shipment 1What statement about the two plots' distributions is true?XXXХ1520Choose each correct statement.Weight (lb)Shipment 2The range of weight in shipment 1 is greater than therange of weight in shipment 2.xXXхXXXXxхXx1ХThe range of weight in shipment 2 is greater than therange of weight in shipment 1.+152025Weight (lb)The lightest watermelon in shipment 1 weighs thesame amount as the lightest watermelon in shipment2The distribution of the data is approximatelysymmetrical in both sets of data.

Answer 1

THe range in statistics is the difference between the highest values and the lowest value

The range in shipment 1 is:

$25-16=9$

The range in shipment 2 is:

$24-16=8$

The first option is correct and the second is incorrect.

SInce the lightest watermellon in shipment 1 is 16lb and the lightest watermellon in shipment 2 is also 16lb, the third option is correct.

Since in the two shipments we have a watermellon weight and then decreasing heights on both sides, we can say that there are approximately simmetrical

Thus, the correct options are 1, 3 and 4.
