Sylvia believes that the students in Term 2 had a higher average number of minutes of exercise than Term 1 because the IQR and Standard Deviation is higher for that group of students. Do you agree?

• Sylvia is correct. Since the standard deviation and IQR for Term 2 students is higher, this means that students spent more time exercising, on average, than Term 1.

• Sylvia is incorrect. The standard deviation and the IQR shows that there is greater variability in the amount of time exercising for Term 2 students compared to Term 1, but it does not tell us that the group spent more time exercising than Term 1.
