Ethan and Drew went on a 10-day fishing trip. The number of smallmouth bass caught and released by the two boys each day is shown in the accompanying data table. Complete the below. Data Table Ethan 9 24 8 9 6 8 9 9 8 10 Drew 15 2 3 17 20 2 17 2 19 3 Which fisherman seems more consistent? Choose answer below A. Ethan seems more consistent, since his observations are spread out. B. Drew seems more consistent, since his observations are spread out. C. Drew seems more consistent, since more of his observations are clustered together. D. Ethan seems more consistent, since more of his observations are clustered together. (c) Find the population standard deviation for the number of smallmouth bass caught per day by each fisherman. Do these values present a different story about the two fishermen's catches per day? Which fisherman has the more consistent record? The population standard deviation for the number of smallmouth bass caught per day by Ethan is _______. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) The population standard deviation for the number of smallmouth bass caught per day by Drew is _________g. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) Do these values present a different story about the two fishermen's catches per day? ▼ Yes, No, since the fishermen have ▼ different similar population means and ranges while having ▼ different similar population standard deviations. Which fisherman has the more consistent record? A. Ethan has the more consistent record, since his standard deviation is higher. B. Drew has the more consistent record, since his standard deviation is lower. C. Drew has the more consistent record, since his standard deviation is higher. D. Ethan has the more consistent record, since his standard deviation is lower. E. Both fishermen have about the same consistency. (d) Discuss limitations of the range as a measure of dispersion. A. The range only takes into account the smallest and largest values, which does not provide any information about the dispersion of the distribution between those values. B. The range does not take into account any outliers, which makes it non-resistant. C. The range only takes into account the first and last values, which does not provide any information about the dispersion of the distribution between those values. D. The range takes into account all of the data values, which makes calculating the range very complicated.

Question

Ethan and Drew went on a 10-day fishing trip. The number of smallmouth bass caught and released by the two boys each day is shown in the accompanying data table. Complete the below.

Data Table


Ethan	9	24	8	9	6	8	9	9	8	10
Drew	15	2	3	17	20	2	17	2	19	3

Which fisherman seems more consistent? Choose answer below

Ethan seems more consistent, since his observations are spread out.

Drew seems more consistent, since his observations are spread out.

Drew seems more consistent, since more of his observations are clustered together.

Ethan seems more consistent, since more of his observations are clustered together.

(c) Find the population standard deviation for the number of smallmouth bass caught per day by each fisherman. Do these values present a different story about the two fishermen's catches per day? Which fisherman has the more consistent record?

The population standard deviation for the number of smallmouth bass caught per day by Ethan is _______.
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)

The population standard deviation for the number of smallmouth bass caught per day by Drew is _________g.
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)

Do these values present a different story about the two fishermen's catches per day?

▼

Yes,

No,

since the fishermen have

▼

different

similar

population means and ranges while having

▼

different

similar

population standard deviations.

Which fisherman has the more consistent record?

Ethan has the more consistent record, since his standard deviation is higher.

Drew has the more consistent record, since his standard deviation is lower.

Drew has the more consistent record, since his standard deviation is higher.

Ethan has the more consistent record, since his standard deviation is lower.

Both fishermen have about the same consistency.

(d) Discuss limitations of the range as a measure of dispersion.

The range only takes into account the smallest and largest values, which does not provide any information about the dispersion of the distribution between those values.

The range does not take into account any outliers, which makes it non-resistant.

The range only takes into account the first and last values, which does not provide any information about the dispersion of the distribution between those values.

The range takes into account all of the data values, which makes calculating the range very complicated.
