Which statement best describes the difference between data set 1 and data set 2 shown below?

• The median values are very similar, but the values in data set 2 are much more spread out since the interquartile range is larger. 

• The median values are very similar, but the values in data set 1 are much more spread out since the interquartile range is smaller. 

• The median value for data set 1 is larger, but the interquartile range is smaller, so the values in data set 1 are all larger than those in data set 2. 

• The median value for data set 2 is larger, but the interquartile range is smaller, so the values in data set 2 are all smaller than those in data set 1.

A small, upscale boutique examines the income of 10 random households to determine if the community will be a good location for a store. Four of the households have an income between $30,000 - $55,000. Five of the households have an income between $70,000 - $100,000. One household has an income of over $700,000. For the business to consider building a new store, the typical household income must be at least $100,000. The average income in this community is $143,000. However, the boutique decides not to build a store there. What is the LIKELY reason that the boutique chooses not to locate in the community?

• The data produces an exaggerated median because of an outlier.

• The data produces an exaggerated typical income because of an outlier.

• With a typical income of $143,000, the typical household makes too much money.

• The boutique will not locate a store in a community where everyone does not make at least $100,000.
