Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The means for both data sets are equal.The range of the number of pages Lionel read is greater than the range of the number of pages Aaron read.The range of the number of pages that Lionel read is 75.Step-by-step explanation:Given Lionel 90, 45, 30, 25, 15 Aaron 55, 19, 40, 16, 75in the first case; For Lionel; Mean = (90+45+30+25+15 )/5 = 41 and Range = (90-15)=75 The second case; AaronMean = (55+19+40+16+75)/5 = 41 and Range = (75-16)= 59Therefore;Both data sets have the same mean but different range.The range of the number of pages Lionel is 75, which is greater than the range of the number of pages Aaron read, which is 59.
