(Comparing Data MC)
The line plots represent data collected on the travel times to school from two groups of 15 students.
A horizontal line starting at 0, with tick marks every two units up to 28. The line is labeled Minutes Traveled. There is one dot above 10,16,20, and 28. There are two dots above 8 and 14. There are three dots above 18. There are four dots above 12. The graph is titled Bus 14 Travel Times.
A horizontal line starting at 0, with tick marks every two units up to 28. The line is labeled Minutes Traveled. There is one dot above 8, 9,18, 20, and 22. There are two dots above 6, 10, 12,14, and 16. The graph is titled Bus 18 Travel Times.
Compare the data and use the correct measure of variability to determine which bus is the most consistent. Explain your answer.
Bus 14, with an IQR of 6
Bus 18, with an IQR of 7
Bus 14, with a range of 6
Bus 18, with a range of 7
