Reasoning

16
a Sometimes. If the data set has an odd number of values, the median is the middle value.
If the data set has an even number of values, the median is between the two middle
values and may not be in the data set.
b Never. The mean will always be less than or equal to the maxmimum value in the set.
c Always. The range represents the difference between the largest and smallest values,
and the difference tells us how far apart the values are.

17 The range would not change.

18
a The difference between the most points scored last season and the lowest points scored
last season was 43 points.
b The range shows that there is a big difference between the most points scored and the
lowest points scored during the season. This means the team is not consistent with the
number of goals they score, since sometimes they score a lot and other times they score
less. If the coach can figure out why they didn't score as many points in the lower-
scoring games, the coach may be able to help them play better and score more points
more often.

a These are the means of each season:

Season 1 is 8.1
Season 2 is 8.45
Season 3 is 8.15

So, Season 2 has the greatest mean rating.


b These are the medians of each season:

Season 1 is 8.10
Season 2 is 8.40
Season 3 is 9.05

So, Season 3 has the greatest median rating.


c The answer to part (a) would change but the answer to part (b) would not. With a rating of
6.3 for Episode 6, the mean of Season 3 would be about 8.48, which is the highest mean
of the three seasons. With a rating of 6.3 for Episode 6, the median would still be 9.05,
which is still the highest median of the three seasons.
