Compare the variation in heights to the variation in weights of thirteen-year old girls. The heights
(in inches) and weights (in pounds) of nine randomly selected thirteen-year old girls are listed
below.
Heights (inches): 58.7 61.4 62.1 64.7 60.1 58.3 64.6 63.7 66.1
Weights (pounds): 89 97 93 119 96 90 123 98 139
A) Heights: 4.3
Weights: 16.0
There is substantially more variation in the weights than in the heights of the girls.
B) Heights: 11.8
Weights: 6.3
There is substantially more variation in the heights than in the weights of the girls.
C) Heights: 4.1
Weights: 15.2
There is substantially more variation in the weights than in the heights of the girls.
D) Heights: 4.5
Weights: 16.8
There is substantially more variation in the weights than in the heights of the girls.
