Question

In what range (minimum to maximum) do the middle 2/3 of your values fall? In what range do roughly 90% of the values closest to your average fall? A) 0-100 B) 25-75 C) 10-90 D) 1-99

Answer 1

Explanation:

The correct answer is B) 25-75.

In the range of middle 2/3, or the interquartile range, approximately 50% of the values fall below the median and 50% fall above the median. This means that the middle 2/3 range encompasses approximately 25% to 75% of the values.

Similarly, when talking about roughly 90% of the values closest to the average, we consider the range within one-and-a-half standard deviations from the mean. In a normal distribution, this range covers approximately 25% to 75% of the values as well.

Therefore, both the middle 2/3 of the values and the range of roughly 90% of the values closest to the average fall within the range of 25-75.
