Marvin's grades currently in math are 100, 97, 98, 74, and 85. Gavin's grades currently in math are 98, 100, 88, 91, and 65. Find the range of each student's scores and make an inference about their ranges.

Ten fourth-grade girls and ten seventh-grade girls were randomly selected. Their heights, in inches, are recorded below. 4th Grade 56, 47, 54, 51, 53, 58, 48, 54, 46, 53 7th Grade 57, 58, 60, 64, 62, 52, 57, 60, 65, 55 Find the range of both classes heights' and make an inference about them.

Four fourth-grade girls and four seventh-grade girls were randomly selected. Their heights, in inches, are recorded below. 4th Grade 56, 47, 54, 51 7th Grade 57, 58, 60, 64 Find the range for both classes and make an inference about the range of scores.

If Mr. Estes looked at the means (averages) for the last SAFE Quiz for his classes, and the averages were 72%, 71%, and 74%, what inference can you make based on those averages?

The dot plot shows a random sample of the number of fish caught and released by 30 participants during a two-day fishing tournament. Select the inference that can be made based on the data collected.

• On average, most participants caught and released 5 or more fish.

• More participants caught 6 fish than any other number.

• The same participants who caught and released 1 fish the first day caught and released 1 fish on the second day.

• On average, participants caught and released more fish on Day 2.

• An estimated 720 club members would likely say they enjoy mountain vacations best.

• Almost one-quarter of club members would likely say they enjoy mountain vacations best.

• More than 2,500 club members would likely say they prefer other vacations over mountain vacations.

A representative sample of 80 customers in a clothing store was surveyed about how they paid for their purchases. The table shows the responses. Based on the results, which of the following are valid inferences. Select all that apply.

• Tomorrow, 8 out of the first 80 customers will for sure pay with a gift card.

• In a group of 40 customers, it is expected that about 10 will pay with cash.

• About 0.3, or 30%, of all the store's customers will pay with a credit card.

• A sample of 100 customers would provide less reliable data.
