Question

the low temperatures in two cities are being compared. in city 1, the range in temperature is 20°f and the iqr is 7°f. in city 2, the range in temperature is 15°f and the iqr is 7°f. what might you conclude about the cities based on the ranges and interquartile ranges? the weather patterns in city 1 and city 2 are equally consistent. the weather pattern in city 2 is more consistent than the weather pattern in city 1. the weather pattern in city 1 is more consistent than the weather pattern in city 2. there is not enough information to make a conclusion

Explanation:

Step1: Recall range and IQR concepts

Range and IQR measure variability. Smaller values mean more consistency.

Step2: Compare values

City 1 range = 20°F, City 2 range = 15°F. City 2 has smaller range.

Answer:

B. The weather pattern in City 2 is more consistent than the weather pattern in City 1.
