Question 1 • Probability and Statistics with Applications Honors Sem-2-FL-1210300 (2024-2025)
Hannah and Claire each have a chicken coop with 6 hens. Let H represent the total number of eggs the hens lay on a randomly chosen day in Hannah’s coop and let C represent the total number of eggs the hens lay on a randomly chosen day in Claire’s coop. The two distributions are displayed in the table and histograms.
Answer
A
The standard deviation for Hannah’s eggs is 1.4, and the standard deviation for Claire’s eggs is 1.6.
B
The standard deviation of the number of eggs laid by Claire’s hens is greater than the standard deviation of the number of eggs laid by Hannah’s hens.
C
The standard deviation of the number of eggs laid by Claire’s hens is less than the standard deviation of the number of eggs laid by Hannah’s hens.
D
The standard deviation of the number of eggs laid by Hannah’s hens is about the same as the standard deviation of the number of eggs laid by Hannah’s hens
