A cell phone company surveyed customers on two phone plans about the number of text messages they send every day.

The results follow.


Compare the medians, ranges, and interquartile ranges of the data sets.

Then use the drop-down arrows to complete the sentences. The median cost of Cell Phone Plan A is [the same as, less than, greater than] the median cost of Cell Phone Plan B. Therefore, [the median cost of Cell Phone Plan A is the same as the median cost of Cell Phone Plan B, the median cost of Cell Phone Plan A is less expensive than the median cost of Cell Phone Plan B, the median cost of Cell Phone Plan B is less expensive than the median cost of Cell Phone Plan A].

The range of costs of Cell Phone Plan A is [the same as, less than, greater than] the range of costs of Cell Phone Plan B. Therefore, [there is a greater difference in the least and most expensive costs for Cell Phone Plan B than Cell Phone Plan A, there is a greater difference in the least and most expensive costs for Cell Phone Plan A than Cell Phone Plan B, there is the same difference in the least and most expensive costs for Cell Phone Plan A and Cell Phone Plan B].

The interquartile range for the cost of Cell Phone Plan A is [the same as, greater than, less than] the interquartile range for the cost of Cell Phone Plan B. Therefore, in the middle 50% of data, [the costs for Cell Phone Plan A are more spread out than the costs for Cell Phone Plan B, the costs for Cell Phone Plan A are spread out the same as the costs for Cell Phone Plan B, the costs for Cell Phone Plan B are more spread out than the costs for Cell Phone Plan A].
