Question 16 • Probability and Statistics with Applications Honors Sem-2-FL-1210300 (2024-2025)
Two students want to determine whose paper airplane model can fly the farthest. To put their models to the test, they recruit five friends to participate in a study. Because the friends have varying throwing abilities, the students decide to have each friend throw each model of airplane. To determine which paper airplane each friend throws first, a coin is tossed. The data are displayed in the table, which shows how far each airplane flies to the nearest inch.
Answer
A
The model B plane will fly farther than the model A plane 90% of the time.
B
The model A plane will fly farther than the model B plane 90% of the time.
C
The students can be 90% confident that, on average, the model A plane flies between 91.08 inches farther than and 11.08 inches less than the model B plane.
D
The students can be 90% confident that, on average, the model B plane flies between 91.08 inches farther than and 11.08 inches less than the model A plane.
