Summarizing Data Sets with Statistics

Question 1 • Pre-Algebra B

Which statements are true about statistics? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
They help describe sets of data.
B
They include the mean, median, range, and interquartile range.
C
They include only mean and median.
D
Measures of center and measures of spread are examples of statistics.
E
They can work only with one set of data.

Explanation

Statistics help summarize and describe data, so A is true. The mean, median, range, and interquartile range are all statistics, and measures of center and spread are two types of statistics, so B and D are true. C is too restrictive because statistics include measures besides the mean and median. E is false because statistics can be used to describe and compare multiple data sets.
