Problem 116Multiple Choice

A school administrator records the number of books read in a month (quantitative variable) by students, grouped by grade level (qualitative variable: 'Freshman' or 'Sophomore').
Freshmen: $3 comma 5 comma 4 comma 6 comma 2$ .
Sophomores: $7 comma 8 comma 6 comma 9 comma 5$ .
Calculate the range and standard deviation for each group. Which grade level displays more dispersion in books read?

A

Freshman: $Range = 5, SD \approx 1.58$

Sophomore: $Range = 4, SD \approx 1.58$

Both groups show similar dispersion

B

Freshman: $Range = 4, SD \approx 1.58$

Sophomore: $Range = 4, SD \approx 1.87$

Sophomore shows more dispersion

C

Freshman: $Range = 4, SD \approx 1.87$

Sophomore: $Range = 4, SD \approx 1.58$

Freshman shows more dispersion

D

Freshman: $Range = 4, SD \approx 1.58$

Sophomore: $Range = 4, SD \approx 1.58$

Both groups show similar dispersion
