Question

2. Look at the sheet. With which of the statements below would you agree? Explain your reasoning. The mean length of the segments is

a. Close to 1.
b. Close to 8.
c. Around 5.
d. Between 2 and 5

Answer 1

Answer:D

Explanation:

The only choice that makes sense to me is (d). The smallest segment length was 1, so it does not

make sense that the mean would be the smallest. The largest segment length was 8,so again, it would not make

sense to have the mean be 8 or even 5 because there are a lot of segments of lengths 1 and 2.
