The Kellen school district gives awards to its schools based on overall student attendance. The data for attendance are shown in the table, where Low represents the fewest days attended and High represents the most days attended for a single student.

School Low High Range Mean Median IRQ σ

High School W 108 180 72 169 150 47.5 29.5

High School X 112 180 68 160 124 49.5 32.4

High School Z 130 180 50 162 151 39.5 27.5

    a) Choose Z since the σ is smallest. The smaller the σ the higher the consistency. Also we can see that the fewest day the student attendance is higher than other while the highest day is the same with others. (L = 130, H = 180)

    b) Choose W since mean in W is the highest.
